It appears that Hobbit is reading the 'physical' line, therefore causing the negative value in meminfo. If you have 4G of memory on your machine, the value is clearly wrong, so the error is in netbsd. Changing the Hobbit code isn't fixing the problem, it just makes the value more readable... :) Hobbit will still reflect a wrong memory value.

It looks like the problem is this, then?
sysctl -a|grep physmem
hw.physmem = -537526272 hw.physmem64 = 3757441024
But if hobbit is using a signed int, which it does seem to be here, I don't see how hobbit could get it anything but wrong when there's more than 2 GB of RAM. Given this code, that's my understanding: 25 int physmem; 67 printf("Total:%d\n", (physmem / (1024 * 1024)));
So is this also a bug in FreeBSD, as they are also using an unsigned long, for this and for pagesize?
Could you help me understand why you say this is a bug in NetBSD?
