: I've read a number of postings on the net that say this is an error
: instrumentation caused by the way threads are implemented on Linux.
: All of Tomcat is probably using less than 30mb of RAM.

You are correct. Please feel free to refer you colleague to this link:

    http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/unix.html#ps

: Can anyone confirm this? I need to be a bit careful.

Barring the FAQ mentioned above, you could grant yourself some
assurance by enforcing your memory requirements: pass the proper
min/max memory flags to the JVM. This will be the heap size, so while
it doesn't account for *all* the memory used by the process this will
be the vast majority of it.
