Patch for /proc/meminfo handler

With the Cygwin 1.5.7-1 DLL, 'cat /proc/meminfo' returns an incorrect
value for free swap space. This is most noticeable when the free virtual
memory is less than the total physical memory, in which case the
calculated free swap space is a negative value. This value is then
converted to an unsigned int for display purposes, resulting in a very
large positive number which is greater than the total amount of swap
space.

A patch to correct this problem is attached.

Andrew
