problem with onstat -p "pagreads" value decrementing

Hi, Has anyone noticed a problem with the pagreads stat in onstat -p being decremented in what looks like a random way? I parse the output of onstat -p regularly and store the output into a csv file. I've noticed that after an unpredictable amount of time the value gets decremented by 2 million !!! Isn't this a cumulative stat? Since I gather this information regularly, I have only been zeroing out my stats once a week. I'm going to try to do this daily and see if this makes any difference. I'm on IDS 7.30 UC7

2 million or 2 billion? You may be seeing the counter roll over. cheers j.

I assure you that the counter is not rolling over. I'm seeing the counter go from (1 example) 5602893 to 3536618 and then the number gradually climbs as you'd expect it to...

I'm resetting the stats daily now. On Friday, stats were reset at 6:00 am. by 3:27pm the pagreads value had reached 7190253 at 3:28pm the pagreads value was 5122344 again, by 7:03pm pagreads had reached 6044502 at 7:04pm pagreads was now 3985017 This seems really bizzarre to me...
