My preferred solution would be to remove the use of unsigned long long 
and just use float variables, but I'm a bit reticent about this. Sent email 
to nagiosplug-devel to gather some opinions first.

I am not a developer, so please take this with a grain of
salt, but the issue appears to be that AIX doesn't like the
fact that a bunch of variables are declared as unsigned long
longs.  If I change this:

unsigned long long total_swap = 0, used_swap = 0, free_swap = 0;
unsigned long long dsktotal = 0, dskused = 0, dskfree = 0,
tmp = 0;

to this:

unsigned long total_swap = 0, used_swap = 0, free_swap = 0;
unsigned long dsktotal = 0, dskused = 0, dskfree = 0, tmp = 0;

it seems to work OK (although you also have to clean up some
of the printfs to use %lu instead of %llu).

As I say, I am not a programmer, so I do not know if there
is an elegant way to fix this.
