GlobalMemoryStatus.. total memory available of 0

Hi,

I compile under AIX a C language code. On the command

MEMORYSTATUS stat;
GlobalMemoryStatus(&stat);
long totalPhysical = stat.dwTotalPhys; /* return 0 !!! */

the totalphysical memory return 0!! is there is a problem with the
"permission" of getting memory on the unix machine? what could it be?

thank you

Mathieu
