Ah, okay... -v alone didn't seem to do much.  Multiple -v's is giving me lots
with 1.4.0.. nothing at all with 1.3.1

It looks like the problem I'm seeing on 1.4.0alpha is with the -a switch.  I
see now that a better explanation for -a has been added to the 1.4.0 help
output, and it suggests I shouldn't be using it:

% ./check_swap -a -w 10% -c 5%
SWAP CRITICAL: 0% free (0 MB out of 80 MB) |swap=0MB;8;4;0;80
% ./check_swap -w 10% -c 5%
SWAP OK: 59% free (1938 MB out of 3321 MB) |swap=1938MB;332;166;0;3321

Looks like 1.4.0 will fix my problem with this host.

Thanks Ton!
