$ grep MM_MEMSIZE *.c
monitor.c:#define MM_MEMSIZE    65536
monitor.c:              mon->m_zback = mm_create(NULL, MM_MEMSIZE);
monitor.c:              mon->m_zlib = mm_create(mon->m_zback, 20 *
MM_MEMSIZE);

So we have 65k pages... and we allocate 20 of them we hit 1Meg worth of
mmap() for sharing the actually for zlib.  If I read the code right (come
someone verify?)

So.. Unless there is a memory leak somewhere I'm not sure why sshd would
grow such.
