Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

On a machine that's got 512 megs memory installed, vmstat output might
look like the following:

$ vmstat
 procs   memory     page                       disks         faults      cpu
 r b w   avm   fre  flt  re  pi   po   fr   sr w0 s0 c0 f0   in   sy  cs us sy id
 1 0 0 48792414564  432   0   0    0    0    0 14  0  0  0  120 1211 439  8  1 90

with the avm/fre columns overlapping. this should be fixed.
