Hello!

I just run memory intensive process (actually vmware thast eats
1/2 of memory at that box). All almost fine (unfsd was killed and
complained about 'Oh no Mr. Bill... nfs_server() returned!').
But after I exited that process, I got this 'free' output
(look at buffers value):
angband:~# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 30672 29920 752 13744 4191956 22828

This is UP 2.3.9-pre8 compiled with GCC 2.7.2.3

Bye,
Oleg
