I'm having a problem with 5.0.6 net-snmpd. I've noticed occasionally that
I'm getting negative memAvailReal reported from the agent's memory MIB.
Here's an example (i've changed the hostname/username):

$ snmpwalk deckard memory
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memIndex.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memErrorName.0 = STRING: swap
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalSwap.0 = INTEGER: 526072
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailSwap.0 = INTEGER: 505840
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal.0 = INTEGER: 507664
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailReal.0 = INTEGER: -67000
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalFree.0 = INTEGER: 438840
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memMinimumSwap.0 = INTEGER: 16000
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapError.0 = INTEGER: 0
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memSwapErrorMsg.0 = STRING:

What could cause that? I've occasionally seen that for ssCpuUser, ssCpuSytem
or ssCpuIdle from the systemStats MIB. I know it's not a problem with the
snmpwalk client as I get the same problems when I retrieve data using my
Net::SNMP perl scripts (for nagios, FWIW).

A little background on my installation...

version 5.0.6 of net-snmp on Solaris 7, SPARC
compiled with ./configure \
--with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl \
--with-mib-modules="host ucd-snmp/diskio" \
--enable-shared=yes --enable-static=yes
using OpenSSL 0.9.6g from sunfreeware, statically (removed openssl's .so
files during configure/make)
using SNMPv3, with .snmp/snmp.conf:

defSecurityLevel authPriv
defSecurityName rachael
defAuthType MD5
defAuthPassphrase XXXXX
defPrivType DES
defPrivPassphrase XXXXX

Thanks in advance for any help/advice...
