check_mem.pl and 8GB RAM Server

[Morris, Patrick]

The format of vmstat's output has changed in the 6 years that have
passed since that plugin was written.  It'll need a few tweaks before
it's usuable with recent versions of vmstat.

Hi all,
	I have 4 servers with 8GB of RAM. But the check_mem.pl plugin
seems not to return a correct result. Is it a bug or my parameter is
incorrect? My apologies if anyone posted this before but I couldn't find
anything about this on the mailing list archive.

	Here's some additional information to tell..
