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

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