OK, that one looks like a genuine bug. Thanks for the fix.

Yes, that is a problem - but I'm not sure it really has any importance
here. The do_la.c code only handles memory statistics *if there is no
bb_memory* extension active on this host. So it only receives the 
memory reports that the BBNT client embeds in the cpu report - and as
far as I know the BBNT client uses an old Win32 API that cannot handle 
more than 2 GB of memory.

I think most people are using the bb_memory extension script.

Unfortunately this will cause problems for those who do not use gcc 
to compile Hobbit. I'll see if I can find a more portable solution.
