Aah! I'm the one to blame for these lines. The problem seems to be
that the machine I did the port of os_mon to OpenBSD on has lots of
obsolete left-over stuff on it. It was originally running OpenBSD 2.4,
and somewhere along the lines of upgrades, the virtual memory
implementation in OpenBSD changed from plain VM to a new one called
UVM.

Thus, this code works for me, who's too lazy to install from scratch
at every new OS release, but it doesn't work for everyone else.

I suppose it includes the correct include file, instead of an old one
that shouldn't exist anymore. ;-)

Something like:

  application:start(sasl).
  application:start(os_mon).
  memsup:get_system_memory_data().
