netstat showing negative values

[jan5000]

After a heavy duty UDP soak test...

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

ubuntu@test-0002:~$ netstat -su
IcmpMsg:
    OutType3: 678
Udp:
    140254190 packets received
    678 packets to unknown port received.

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

Reassigning from bash to net-tools as the bug relates to the "netstat" command.

Thanks for taking the time to report this. Looking more closely, this appears to be a duplicate of bug #597236, so I'll mark it as such.
