conky wrong memory output

conky 1.4.8-1 installed from the extra repo.
I use

$memperc%  $mem/$memmax

in my ~/.conkyrc and I always get a usage of about 93%.
I checked with free and sure enough:

vladuz ~  $  free                                                                         
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1554228    1487056      67172          0     134456    1100004
-/+ buffers/cache:     252596    1301632
Swap:       530136          0     530136

I have plenty of free memory.
Conky displays including the buffers and cache!
Why is that, and how can I change that?

I compared to what other people have in their conkyrc and they have the same and are getting the correct output.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

From the conky website - http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html

no_buffers   |     Substract (file system) buffers from used memory?

Somewhere in your config you must have this, I believe:

no_buffers no

By default, this is set to 'yes' (meaning if you want to subtract buffers, just leave 'no_buffers' completely out of your ~/.conkyrc).
