Yes :-). It is not a "fault" as in an error, but a "page fault" is a method
of measuring swap (and sometimes I/O, depending on OS) activity. This is a
normal function of running, although in practice a high number may indicate
that your machine is "thrashing". This is why this output is there - as a
diagnostic aid.

As it happens, I suspect your OS does not support the system calls to
determine the Maximum Resident Size and number of Page Faults, which is why
they come out as zero. Ordinarily they should come out as large numbers.
