dbcheck.pl - Oracle - tablespace with AutoExtent

I've started using Francesco's dbcheck script - very nice package,
really. However, one of my DBA's is a bit unhappy with the tablespace
check - it reports yellow/red status for tables that have been defined
with AutoExtent enabled.

Right now I get a report like this:

Tablespace check (def. warning  Use% >= 90%, def. alert  Use% >= 95%)
TableSpace/DBSpace           Size    Used    Free  Use% Autoextent(Size)
BASIC_DATA2_1976_88        300.0M  215.0M   85.0M   72% YES (64.0G)    
BASIC_DATA2_1989Q1         400.0M  382.0M   18.0M   96% YES (64.0G)    
BASIC_DATA2_1989Q2         500.0M  483.0M   17.0M   97% YES (64.0G)    

with the last two tables causing a red status. My DBA thinks they should
not trigger an alert, because they will automatically increase in size
if needed.

Can anyone shed some light on this? My knowledge of Oracle is close to
zero, so I really don't have any idea whether he is right or not.

Henrik
