Byte counters reset at ~4GB

Hello,

It seems that the byte counters (derived from netstat -nbi) reset at
around 4 GB. Is there no way around this? It would be nice to be able to
see an accurate display of totals. It just seems pointless to even have
this, as 4 GB is just not that much anymore. I know this is a 32bit
limitation of the variable, but that's just bad coding in my opinion (no
offence intended), I mean there must be some way around this.

Thank You.
