 Humm, ahh, sorry the previous mail should have stated that vmstat has the
wrong memory size.  It fails to include the memory used by the kernel.  The
swap size has always been correct, AFAIK.

 A few notes to anyone who cares.  Matthew Grant is now hosting hurd.dyndns.org
and the website is back up.  I'll be away for a couple weeks, but I would
gladly 
take patches for PPtop, especially documentation and translations which I'll
include in the next release.
