Summary: check_swap providing inaccurate swap information on Sol6

Initial Comment:
Current CVS copy of check_swap compiled and running 
on a Solaris 2.6/Sparc system.

swap -l reports:
--
swapfile             dev  swaplo blocks   free
/dev/vx/dsk/swapvol 158,8      16 4193664 4149872
--

(Swap space is on a Veritas volume.)

check_swap reports: 
--
SWAP OK: 99% free (2026 MB out of 1308622848 MB)"
--

The 2026MB figure is right on but, obviously, the total 
swap figure is completely off.

Although we originally changed the configure script directly, 
this diff shows the same change as made to the configure.in 
script.  Again, totally not a programmer, my apologies if this 
is idiotic. :)

Forgot to mention that I also changed the Solaris 
SWAP_FORMAT in the configure script to read in %llu instead 
of a %d, to match the declared 'unsigned long long types' of 
the variables used in check_swap.

I am definitely not a programmer but I managed to get some 
help looking at this problem and have attached a diff of 
changes that fixed the problem in our environment.  It may 
not be useful as a permanent fix, but it should definitely save 
some time debugging.
