[smartmontools-support] Odd statistic value, smartctl bug?

[egon at allmail.net]

Good to know, thanks for having a look. Do you suppose I should send an email to kingston?

Also, if anyone else using one of these, please do let me know if you see similar values. Judging by the linuxhw database reports it seems typical for this model, but there aren't that many reports and I don't know whether they comprise an unbiased sample or not.
