The following is the result of a pstat -s:

5348 used (996 text), 61020 free, 1912 wasted, 704 missing
avail: swap: rmap ovflo, lost [8192,66208)
1*1024 2*512 2*256 2*128 1*64 3*32

Can anyone tell me how to interpret:

1) missing: on some of our systems, it is larger than free.

2) the "rmap ovflo" message.  Is this bad, or does it indicate
confusion on pstat's part?

Is there any point in believing any of this information?  Or is
pstat just very, very, confused?

(By the way, the system in question is running with two standard-
sized UDA-50 B partitions, interleaved swap.)

Messages to me, please.  I will summarize the results, if any.

	- Mike
