 From net/bmon description:
 
 ``Bmon is an interface bandwidth monitor.  It is able to generate and
 draw three types of diagrams: The overview diagram which is a list of
 all interfaces and their send/receive rates.  A very MRTG like
 graphical diagram in ASCII showing the rate over a specific time
 period in a bar diagram.  The details diagram which contains all
 counters of an interface such as total bytes sent/received, errors,
 compressed packets and so on.''
 
 It might be that this is a bug in bmon, although it shows up only
 on tap(4) interfaces in NetBSD.
 
 If you are sure I made a mistake and it's a bug in that software,
 feel free to close the PR.  For me, it looks like there's something
 not NULL-terminated in NetBSD, but YOU are the NetBSD masters,
 not me ;)
