noticed this while in x. shortly afterwards (less than a minute), the stats
returned to normal, except it was reporting little to no, or possible still
negative cache (couldn't tell at the time, was reading from xosview). the
vmstat output below may have been generated just after it returned to
normal.

I'm seeing this on 2.4.13-ac5 too.

Check out the thread started as "funny free output with all mem for buffers"
 then changed to "Cached accounting problem" by me...
 
This seems to be happening on 2.4.13, and -ac kernels.
