Please ensure that if you do use humanize_number(3), there is a way of
getting rss and vsz values in fixed units.  Tru64 switches between MB
and GB is ps output (which can't be disabled).  I regularly need to
look at processes by size and it's very annoying to have 2.5GB and
2.5MB processes mixed together.
