Hello admins,

i want measure the cpu load with vmstat but i got sometimes very strange values
like the following:

# vmstat 3 10
usr sys idle
9 3 88
6028347926944677888 0 100
6028347926944677888 0 6028347926944677888
6028347926944677888 0 100
5893528559925854208 0 5893528559925854208
6008711199028412416 0 6008711199028412416
6405119225702121472 0 6405119225702121472
6128486498200190976 0 6128486498200190976
6128486498200190976 0 100
5989202564216782848 0 100

What's wrong with vmstat? It's running on a hpux l1000 with hpux 11.11.

Thanks in advance
Wolfgang
