I am running the linux version 5.2.13 of BOINC and it reports that my available memory is -4096MB. It should be 4096MB. This is causing me not to be able to download work units. Any ideas on what would be causing this? Here is the complete log:

Do you use the offical boinc client ?
Which Linux do you use ?

Looks like a problem in memory detection of the boinc client.
