Ok, I think, I know the reason. Wolfgang, can it be, that you first tried 
to apply this patch, and only then my other patch

[PATCH v2] Fix wrong memory limit calculation in memory-test

which I sent 5 days earlier? Then there would be a conflict yes. Otherwise 
this specific function hasn't change since then. Probably, I should have 
specified a dependency on my previous patch, sorry.

Thanks
