>Description:
	The virtual sizes as found in the vmtotals struct returned by
	sysctl() look inflated.  The real memory usage / free sizes
	looks correct, but neither the total or shared virtual page
	counts appears to be correct.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Run vmstat(1) and look at the memory fields.  Compile top(1)
	with an up-to-date machine.c for NetBSD-current, look at
	active/total VM size.  The same inflation can be seen with
	shared virtual memory sizes by using those instead of total
	virtual memory sizes.
>Fix:
	Not known as of now.
