R13B02-1: badmatch in memsup:get_memory_usage (Mac OS X 10.6)

[Winston Smith]

I found the problem, the output of vm_stat has changed in Snow Leopard
(10.6) and the code in memsup.erl, in get_memory_usage({unix,darwin})
fails to read the number of pages wired:

get_memory_usage({unix,darwin}) ->
    Str = os:cmd("/usr/bin/vm_stat"),
    {ok, [Free],Str2} = io_lib:fread("Pages free:~d.",skip_to_eol(Str)),
    {ok, [Active],Str3} =
	io_lib:fread("Pages active:~d.", skip_to_eol(Str2)),
    {ok, [Inactive],Str4} =
	io_lib:fread("Pages inactive:~d.", skip_to_eol(Str3)),
    {ok, [Wired],_} =
	io_lib:fread("Pages wired down:~d.", skip_to_eol(Str4)),		%% FAILS HERE
    NMemUsed  = (Wired + Active + Inactive) * 4000,
    NMemTotal = NMemUsed + Free * 4000,
    {NMemUsed,NMemTotal};


Here's the new output of vm_stat (they've inserted "Pages speculative"
before "Pages wired down" comparing to 10.5):

winston$ /usr/bin/vm_stat

Hope this helps!

Thanks.
