>Description:
	When doing a netstat -s, many counters about transferred bytes
	are displayed. These are 32bit quantities. With NetBSD being
	stable, it is well possible that a computer sends or receives
	more than 4GB in its livetime (a busy news/web box will get them
	within a week).

>How-To-Repeat:

	$netstat -s -s

	[..]
	tcp:
        9299827 packets sent
                4594962 data packets (2586830728 bytes)
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^
Are these really 2GB or 6GB or ... 

>Fix:

Change all involved counters from u_long to u_quad and also the 
associated printf's
