Subject: Very high "cached" value

Hi,

running 2.4.13-ac4+preempt, I found a rather strange xosview display
this morning, complaining about a negative field. Inspection of
/proc/meminfo gives a pretty unlikely value for "cached":

/home/martink> cat /proc/meminfo
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 327233536 323653632 3579904 6352896 131874816

This is on a Toshiba 7200 Notebook with 320 MB and about twice as much
swap.
