	The kernel does not currently implement the recording of that
statistic. There are actually, I believe, several statistics within the
kernel that are not implemented. Although at the moment I don't know
what they are .. 

	NetBSD, during several stages of its development, exhibits this
behavior as well. NetBSD 1.0/pmax (very much in development) does, and
yet my 1.0A/i386 machine has a working %MEM field. I can't remember if
distrib 1.0 does or not, but I seem to remember it doesn't work in that
release.
