Oops, you're correct.  I was only trying to demonstrate that there
was ample free memory and ramdiskadm just didn't work.  Usually I do
that using top, but pasting top output into an email doesn't really
parse very well.

Yes, that gives correct numbers.  However, it would only lead away
from the problem with ramdiskadm(1M).  As such, the numbers are
almost identical on my system anyway.  :-)
