Subject:   vmstat reports incorrect CPU usage

I am having a problem with vmstat reporting what appear to be
incorrect CPU usage values on all my servers.  I only use vmstat in
scripts so I did not notice until recently.  I see an Open PR (
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/30360 ) but I am not
sure this is the same problem as I see a problem on both single and
multiple CPU's.  Before I go chasing a ghost,  does any one else see a
difference between CPU usage reported by 'top' and that reported by
'vmstat'.  If so is it possible that this is not a bug but a
difference in expected behavior of vmstat?  Or is it possible vmstat
is broke?  'top' appears to report usage figures I would expect.
Thanks for any help.
