We've noticed what appears to be a bug in sa on solaris 9.

When running sar, we'll see entries that show 100% utilization in the
sys field, but if you look closer, you'll see there was a previous
entry for the same time which appears to have the correct info for
that time.

See below:

uname -a
SunOS h2 5.9 Generic_117171-02 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440

for i in sa[0-9]* ; do echo "processing $i" ; sar -f ./$i |
/usr/sfw/bin/ggrep -A1 -B1 "0 100" ; done

00:00:00 %usr %sys %wio %idle
