This is fixed in -49. Note, however, that not all information in
/proc/stat is available on 64 bit machines. Some of the information
printed in /proc/stat, namely the swap_in/swap_out pages, require access
to the SystemPerformanceInformation category in a call to
NtQuerySystemInformation. The structure returned by this call is also
different on 64 bit systems, even when running under WOW64. The
SYSTEM_PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION structure was already undocumented on 32
bit systems, and on 64 bit systems it's even more undocumented, if
that's possible :) Unfortunately, to date there's no official
replacement function which provides the page read/write count. So, on
64 bit systems, this information is set to 0 in /proc/stat.
