Addendum to my previous message.
Looking down the source code, Bernd discovered similar bug when print
in standard output the tx_packets statistics. The blank is not
guaranteed from the RX and TX data.
The -11.diff, as Bernd says, will cointain that fix (will be available
to download soon, Bernd published today).
But I'll explain my thought. What happen when the data cointained on
ptr->stats.rx_packets exceed the number of "99999999" (8 char). The
struct ptr->stats.rx_packets is "long long" but when this data printed
on standard out the stringh is righted. Maybe more char to justified?
10 char?
Some examples (the second is "netstat" fixed"):
