To be more blunt, these checks may well be useless on Linux.
On a quick look, you seem to maintain three ports: idutils, mspdebug,
and jogl. I wouldn't expect a free-memory check to be appropriate on any
of those.

In any case, the definition of "free memory" is different between the VM
systems in Linux and BSD . Even if the checks do make sense, the FreeBSD
implementation would at the minimum have to include all of the pages
that are allocated but not mapped.
