I used to have more info, but occasionally people develop memory leaks too
:-)

Hmm. Wouldn't you know it -- I run CMU snmpd! Looks like I need to dig up
a different daemon. Perhaps it's not the Ethernet interface at all
(personally I don't know why MAC-layer packet handling would affect IP
traffic numbers either, since I doubt packet fragmentation would amount to
much).
