netstat(8) doesn't have support for /proc/net/snmp's {Rcv,Snd}bufErrors.
This causes the value to be treated as signed, with negative numbers emitted
for large values:
Udp:
499161083 packets received
3258712 packets to unknown port received.
3310376146 packet receive errors
268245155 packets sent
RcvbufErrors: -984591164
I originally reported this upstream, at
https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=17645&group_id=4537
This is similar to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561161,
but is a different bug.
