I'm not sure I understand this new format.  Why do you keep the Mem: and
Swap: lines?  Linux doesn't have them and top appears to work without
them.  And then, why do you print MemShared, HighTotal, and HighFree,
even though they are always 0, but not all the other ~40 lines Linux'
meminfo has, too?
