   Great, I uncommented it and now top runs happily as ever.  However, I
   still have a problem (which existed in top-3.0 I got from agate's
   unsupported/from-ref directory too)---top seems to have a memory leak.
   It was about 400k when it started, and now (after running for about
   three hours), it stands at 1.4 megs.  It grows much slower than
   top-3.0, though.

I have no problems with top-3.2. I use the orginal top and a patch for
swap usage.

Memory:  Free: 180K  Act: 1196K  Inact: 220K  Wired: 1268K  Swap: 3344K
