Hi Danny,

Thank you for your report. I can confirm this on both Debian Etch and
Ubuntu Feisty.

The data itself is correct. It reflects the "Cached" information from
/proc/meminfo. But since top prepends that line with "Swap:", one would
guess that's swap related, where it isn't.

On the other hand, "free" labels the information correctly:

mds023922:~# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1028496     840760     187736          0      85436     225432
-/+ buffers/cache:     529892     498604
Swap:       979924          0     979924

Possible fix: move the "cached" information to the "Mem:" line.
