Makes sense to me...

[~] cat > testnull.c
 int main() {}
[~] gcc testnull.c
[~] ldd a.out
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007efc6a650000)

[~] objdump -d a.out

Basically, its not *really* a totally null program.  You've got the dynamic
loader ld-linux running first, which then *doesn't* run main() directly, but
rather invokes _start, which needs to happen so that __libc_start_main can get
called and initialize stuff lie stdio, malloc, and other such t hings, before
it finally calls main().

Personally, I'm surprised that ld-linux and glibc initialization can finish
without going over 500k - even more so if shared library text pages are
included in memory.peak.  Somebody  else can wade into that mess, I admit
having been around since kernel 2.5.47 or so, and I never did understand the
memory accounting for shared text pages....
