Memory represented in MB versus GB

We have server running Linux with the NET-SNMP Agent. When Solarwinds Orion 7.2 polls the memory, the MIB returns the memory value in Megabytes versus Gigabytes. Gigabytes is the correct one to diplay.

Unfortunately I can’t manipulate the memory size like bandwidth on the interfaces.

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Note: All the other Unix servers seem to display the information properly.

Mike:
I just upgraded to 7.2.2 and I am so pleased that the CPU and Memory stats are now there for NET-SNMP! The Solaris systems are all correct, but the SUSE linux systems' memory is misrepresented. One SUSE system has 4GB of Memory and Orion thinks it only has 2GB ... Have you figured out your issue? It may help me!
Thanks,
Chandi

Just to update:
I used the MIB Browser and opened it up to the SUSE server. The following OID:

UCD-SNMP-MIB:memTotalReal.0
OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.4.5.0

Shows 3962928. Which is correct - I don't know how Orion is getting 2GB from that ...

It's probably a bug in Net-SNMP. Win2k used to have the same problem:
