Thanks Pavel, this hack works.
..
Freeing memory...  ^Hdone (0 pages freed)
Freeing memory...  ^H-^Hdone (4636 pages freed)
Freeing memory...  ^Hdone (0 pages freed)
Freeing memory...  ^H-^Hdone (914 pages freed)
Freeing memory...  ^Hdone (0 pages freed)
Freezing CPUs (at 0)...ok

Any mm guru know how to fix this?
