 There  is a fix in  linux/metrics.c r1029 that  bz#180 . This should go into 
3.0.8. The fix is relatively nice in trunk, but more ugly in 3.0.x due to the 
code duplication  in the networking metrics. I see two possible ways:

a) we backport only r1029, even if if it is ugly
b) we take the current state of linux/metrics.c minus r1010 /float conversion 
for memory metrics)

 Also, I am a bit worried about the reported memory leak in "gmond". If Kumar 
can give us a pointer, maybe we could get that fixed to.

 Maybe having a larger offset in Minor might be good. I do not really see that 
it warrants an upgrade of Major. We can do that once the python fraction has 
eliminated the last piece of c-code :-)
