Thanks to everyone who worked on this. By the way, I have asked Albert
Calahan, the procps maintainer, to fix the free/top/vmstat tools such
that these take recently added /proc/meminfo fields into account and
display correct values on recent 2.6 kernels. See also
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991 and
http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=120496901605830&w=2.

Bart.
