I've seen something similar lately, although I'm on a machine with < 4 
gig total mem + swap.

It appears that memAvail is returning a signed 32 bit integer, so once 
you get over 2 gig you overflow into negative, and once you hit 4 gig 
you're completely out of bounds. I've got a patch for the about box, 
but that's only a cosmetic thing. I suspect the rest of your problem is 
really a kernel issue.
