>Description:

 vmstat displays avm and fre alltogether:
    # vmstat
 procs      memory     page                    disks     faults      cpu
 r b w     avm   fre  flt  re  pi  po  fr  sr da0 da1   in   sy  cs us
sy id
 0 0 0    5404197860    1   0   0   0   1   0   0   0  152   10   3  0 
0 100

this makes some monitoring programs go crazy

>How-To-Repeat:

  type vmstat in a command prompt, look at the output

>Fix:

possible fix is:
