well, thank you for looking that up for me.

I think that the OpenSolaris project is *not* an open kernel type
project and thus no external person can submit a code patch that would
address that issue. It looks to me to be something trivial to fix but
a really low priority.

I'm guessing here, wild guess in fact, that the final line item of
data there should be derived from simply subtracting the pages
allocated in other places from the physicla pages found in the
machine. Some sort of a error is taking place with underflow or
overflow which is borking up the output.

Then again it could even be printf format related .. tough to say
without digging into the code.

Dennis
