avail memory = 239 MB
So that works well with the vmstat -s numbers. However, that still
doesn't really explain where that memory is.
I guess top should be patched or something to reflect the vmstat -s
numbers instead of whatever it's currently using.
Would you mind looking at vmstat -s and see if you're missing 48MB?
vmstat -s|awk '{ print $1*4096, $0 }' is handy. (assuming your first
row looks like this 4096 bytes per page)
