Out of range memory report

[Colin Spargo]

I got this in the "memory" column for a Solaris 8 host this morning, which 
caused it to go red (even though i have the threshold set to 101).

 Thu Aug 3 09:11:17 BST 2006 - Memory CRITICAL
   Memory              Used       Total  Percentage
red Physical     4294955003M     131072M 4294967287%
green Swap              40973M     144024M         28%


That physical memory calculation is obviously incorrect!

This only happened once, then it went back to normal. The "hostdata" that 
was saved at the time of the alert had the following memory data:

[memory]
 0 0 0 211046168 146806184 744 6249 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0  0 2692 436955 11454 8 
6 86

That looks fine to me. I can't see how it could have taken those values 
and got that bizzare total for memory.


This is how it normally looks for this host:

 Thu Aug 3 10:01:48 BST 2006 - Memory OK

   Memory              Used       Total  Percentage
green Physical          59483M     131072M         45%
green Swap              40960M     144026M         28%


and this is a sample of "normal" memory data from the host:

[memory]
 0 0 0 105535000 73280352 152 910 0 126 126 0 0 0 0 0 0 3339 811798 11953 
4 7 89
