/proc/meminfo capped at 4GB

I recently upgraded my main workstation to 16GB of memory. Although
native Windows tools display the expected values, the figures in
Cygwin's /proc/meminfo seem capped at 4GB. Is this behavior by design?
Is it just due to WOW64?

e.g.,
Mem:  4294967295          0 4294967295
Swap: 4227117056          0 4227117056

Thanks,
Daniel Colascione
