Given that the 'cs' column is part of the 'faults' section, my guess
	is that leaves us with rounding errors.

	In the case given, I've listed the total, and a _possible_ set of
	real values that might have resulted in the numbers shown

	Of course.. I could be totally off base here :)
	If this is the case, and AIX 'fudges' the numbers to make them add
	up to 100%, NetBSD is actually being 'more accurate'....
