>Description:
Some of the counters in netstat -s overflow to negative values:

        76049047 packets received
                44486066 acks (for -1744700544 bytes)
	
>How-To-Repeat:
Find a busy server, run netstat -s
	
>Fix:
Make these counters unsigned should help a lot.  However, if they overflow
already perhaps making them larger is what is needed...
