Change in memory tracking in recent 6-STABLE?

Hi there,

I'm using symon to monitor memory usage among several FreeBSD machines.
After updating to a recent 6-STABLE, the amount of memory no longer adds
up to the total physical memory. The "inactive" counter is way too
small.

Which recent changes could have caused this? Is it a bug in symon or in
FreeBSD?

An example of the difference can be found here:
