Today’s WTF

A couple of days ago, I ran the systeminfo command on one of our production servers because I wanted to know how much memory was being used by the machine. The result:


Total Physical Memory: 4,091 MB
Available Physical Memory: 3,329 MB
Page File: Max Size: 83 MB
Page File: Available: 3,243 MB
Page File: In Use: 18,446,744,073,709,548,456 MB
Page File Location(s): c:pagefile.sys

I hope I’m not the only one who thinks a 18,446,744,073,709,548 gigabyte swap file is a bit excessive.
