Could you mail to the list the output of following command:
--------------------------------
echo "size:,rss:,share:,code:,data:,lib:,dirty:,PID:,name:";
for i in /proc/[0-9]*; do
  echo $(tr ' ' ',' < $i/statm),${i##*/},$(tr '\0' ' ' < $i/cmdline);
done|grep -v 0,0,0,0,0,0,0|sort -nr
--------------------------------

Basically it reads the /proc/PID/statm memory stats for all processes
and outputs them (with process PID and command line) in CSV format
one can view in spreadsheet.

Like "top" this is very inaccurate because it doesn't tell how much of the
memory is private to the process (like much harder to parse /proc/PID/smaps
data would), but it's good enough for rough analysis.
