I have the same problem on an aix server.
This is the output of the vmstat command.  As you can see, the avm column is 
'attached' to the next column:

System Configuration: lcpu=4 mem=6144MB
kthr     memory             page              faults        cpu
----- ----------- ------------------------ ------------ -----------
 r  b   avm   fre  re  pi  po  fr   sr  cy  in   sy  cs us sy id wa
 2  1 4295454056  5793   0   0   0  61   80   0  60 30162 1606  9  8 80  3

Not much that I can do, except rebooting the box :(
