Problem can be observed only on 32bit procps.
64bit procps on Dual Opteron system (from alioth pure64 archive)
always gets interrupt rate right.

Hello,
vmstat had some changes around 3.2.6 and some of these fixes look like
they would of solved the scaling/underflow problems this bug was seeing.
If this problem still occurs in versions 3.2.6 or newer, then please
reopen the bug with more details.
