Linux solusvm.a2hosting.com 2.6.32-042stab053.5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 27
vzctl version 3.3
vswap is enabled

Since upgrading to a 2.6.32 kernel one of our users noticed that they
are occasionally getting a Floating Point Exception when running vmstat:

[root@server ~]# vmstat 1 5
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system--
-----cpu------
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy
id wa st

Floating point exception

It doesn't happen every time as you can see here:

[root@server ~]# vmstat 1 10
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system--
-----cpu------
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy

I have been able to replicate this issue in other OS templates (theirs
is Ubuntu 11.10, but I have replicated in Ubuntu, Fedora, Centos,
etc...) running the same kernel and vzctl version.

I can not replicate this issue on the node.

Wondering if anyone else has run across this issue and/or knows what
might be causing it.
