Mark,

What version of the man page are you looking at?  Nowadays the page says:

       /proc/[pid]/statm
              Provides information about memory usage,  measured
              in pages.  The columns are:

                  size       total program size
                             (same as VmSize in /proc/[pid]/status)
                  resident   resident set size
                             (same as VmRSS in /proc/[pid]/status)
                  share      shared pages (from shared mappings)
                  text       text (code)
                  lib        library (unused in Linux 2.6)
                  data       data + stack
                  dt         dirty pages (unused in Linux 2.6)

(The page was modified in version 3.01 of man-pages.)
