That's just to show how fast this NPE-G1 really is!!  It makes a 64 bit
counter wrap around in 60 seconds!

Is this reproduceable?  If yes, I think it's certainly worth opening
a case (via your support chain), because that's about the worst thing
that can happen to an ISP, obviously-broken SNMP counters.
