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.

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.
