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.
