I'm having an issue where I've got one OpenServer 6 box that returns a negative value for the memory test, this is on 4.3.11.  I'm not really sure where to start looking.


 Client Data:

[memsize]
4294496256
[freemem]
Average          968749       1582626        193182        733337
[swap]
path                                dev             swaplo     blocks       free
/dev/swap                            7679,1              0    5515256    5515256

 I see in the client script that the result is based off of the output from 'sar -r 1 2 | tail -1'.  Here's output from sar minus the tail:

13:21:56        freemem      freeswap        freekv       filemem
13:21:57         968176       1583206        193184        732722
13:21:58         968088       1583206        193184        732676
Average          968132       1583206        193184        732699

What's actually reported is:
Physical    -3782M    0M    0%
Swap        0M       2692M  0%

Anyone know where to start?
