lib: Memory reporting fails over 2GB
The old style mallinfo() function uses an 'int' to
report memory usage data to the program. Unfortunately
modern architectures can chew through 2gb of memory like a
buzz saw hitting some warm butter, especially in the case
of a memory leak or memory fragmentation.
When a daemon uses more than 2gb of memory, just indicate it's
gotten large and we don't know anymore.
