I didn't ignore it. It still gives the same figure as the current
formula that nautilus uses
Here is my bc session to prove

[root cruachann proc]# ll kcore
-r--------    1 root     root     401571840 Apr  9 11:06 kcore

[glen cruachann ram_size]$ bc
bc 1.06

((((401571840 - 4096) + 1023)/1024) + 1023) / 1024
383

Thats a lot of wasted computation to come up with the same wrong number.
The hack of the existing formula isn't "correct" but does report ram
size better than whats there at the moment.
