Unanimous response: "probably a bug". Thomas Blinn (Digital) has kindly
referred this to the VM subsystem maintainer.

Subject: swapon -s: 166% swap free ?
Can anyone explain the meaning of -ve reserved space and >100% available
space in the following "swapon -s" output?
Swap partition /dev/re0b (default swap):
Allocated space: 122093 pages (953MB)
In-use space: 16601 pages ( 13%)
Free space: 105492 pages ( 86%)
Swap partition /dev/re1b:
Allocated space: 125070 pages (977MB)
In-use space: 16554 pages ( 13%)
Free space: 108516 pages ( 86%)
Total swap allocation:
Allocated space: 247163 pages (1930MB)
Reserved space: -164450 pages (-66%)
In-use space: 33155 pages ( 13%)
Available space: 411613 pages (166%)
The machine is an AlphaServer 4100 running Digital Unix 4.0b (rev 564),
and seems to be behaving fine except for this anomalous result. We use
immediate swap allocation mode.
P.S. We manage four AlphaServers running DU 4.0b, and have noticed this
kind of output on two of them.
