I know this is not a kernel issue, but you are the people using bleeding
edge kernels. I have a procps patch that will fix top, and any other
program that uses the "libproc" to get info from /proc/meminfo. This does
not include "free," which I don't use, so was too lazy to fix.

I am not going to post it here because it is not a kernel patch, but you can
get it from ftp://eliot213.wuh.wustl.edu/pub/patches/procps.diff.gz.

Let us go. Let us leave this festering hell hole. Let us think the
unthinkable, let us do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the
ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.
