Package: procps
Version: 3.2.7

Hello,

        I found a bug in the manpage of command "vmstat". 

        I found manpage says:

FIELD DESCRIPTION FOR SLAB MODE
       cache: Cache name
       num: Number of currently active objects
       total: Total number of available objects
       size: Size of each object
       pages: Number of pages with at least one active object
       totpages: Total number of allocated pages
       pslab: Number of pages per slab

In fact, "totpages" and "pslab" is not existent. 
For example:
======================================================
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# vmstat -m
Cache                       Num  Total   Size  Pages
hfsplus_icache                0      0    640      6
rpc_buffers                   8      8   2048      2
......
======================================================

So, I think "totpages" and "pslab" need to be deleted.
I have made a patch for this bug.
The content of the patch:
