Also, is this call to emacs_abort really appropriate?  Or is it some
remnant from debugging this code?

  DEFUN ("memory-info", Fmemory_info, Smemory_info, 0, 0, 0,
         doc: /* Return a list of (TOTAL-RAM FREE-RAM TOTAL-SWAP FREE-SWAP).
  All values are in Kbytes.  If there is no swap space, last two
  values are zero.  If the system is not supported, return nil.  */)
    (void)
  {
  #ifdef HAVE_LINUX_SYSINFO
    struct sysinfo si;
    uintmax_t units;

    if (sysinfo (&si))
      emacs_abort ();  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
