My understanding is that the SZ field of a ps listing is *only* data and
stack (assuming a pure-text program).  The text size is kept in the text
table (the 4.3 BSD ps will show TSIZ with the 'v' option).

I have tested this on 4.3, and find that there are processes with a
larger TSIZ than SIZE, so it is clear that the text is not included
there.  Whether this is true under System V (the original question was
for this version), I am not sure, but it shouldn't be hard to test.
