Normally, this gives me numbers that represent percentages. Apparently Solaris has to be the odd duck. Any nice computer guys know wtf this means?
No rush, top gives me enough information. I'd use prstat or sar, but I need admin privileges and I'm not quite up to trying to hack this machine just to see what's going on inside of it.
Edit: I have seen errors like this before, but that's usually when an unsigned integer is not read as unsigned. These are supposed to be floats or doubles, which don't have an unsigned version (I don't think? Am I wrong?). Besides, would something this egregious have stood so long uncorrected?
