It seems like the issue is that val_t is a long long but the format is
just a long, thus bogus size on the stack for the parameters. Changing
the format or casting to long should fix it (the code is still in the
hurd CVS, madhusudancs-soc2008-procfs-branch branch)

I've logged in to strauss.debian.net and checked the memory status:

pochu@strauss:~$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep Swap
SwapCached:     0 kB
SwapTotal:      1959892 kB
SwapFree:       0 kB
pochu@strauss:~$ vmstat | grep swap
swap size:      1.87G
swap free:      1.86G
pochu@strauss:~$

So meminfo says the swap is full, but vmstat says it's empty. I've checked my Hurd virtual machine right after boot and I got similar results, so meminfo is most likely wrong.
