Use page counts rather than byte counts to avoid overflowing
unsigned long local variables.

hmm, the default value of RES_LIMIT is LLONG_MAX, so I think we must declare
"free" as unsinged long long to avoid overflow.

Thanks,

Agreed.  I am testing a fix for that issue now.  I do not want
complicate this patch with the RES_LIMIT issue you mention.  The fix
will be in a separate patch.
