Top under the DS5000? Bash memory leak?

Has anyone ported "top" to run under RISC/Ultrix? In particular,
several quantities which are retrieved from the kernel are
fixed point, and the output of top is messed up under the
WCPU, and CPU columns, as well as the load averages being wrong.
I've tried to patch them, but the output still doesn't look right.
Also, in testing "top", I found something which appears to be
a memory leak in BASH 1.05 which happens under DS ULTRIX (3.1d?)
VAX Ultrix (3.1b) but not under SunOS 4.0.3:
$ while j=0; do j=1; done
out of swap space, pid 3194, proc bash
Out of virtual memory!
This machine is configured with 64M of swap. The sun process does not
grow in size at all. Total elapsed time is about 5 to 10 minutes.
Sampled output from top (WCPU/CPU columns wrong):
2860 hudgens 57 0 1256K 960K run 0:13 6614.88% 6600.00% bash
...
2860 hudgens 88 0 3512K 3216K run 0:39 18241.03% 18200.00% bash
...
2860 hudgens 88 0 5768K 5472K run 1:03 22049.59% 22000.00% bash
Any pointers apreciated.
