  netstat showing negative values

Status in “net-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After a heavy duty UDP soak test...

  Not really a "bash" bug, but not sure where else to report.

  ubuntu at test-0002:~$ netstat -su
  IcmpMsg:
      OutType3: 678

  The chances are that "int" variables need to be "uint64_t"...
