Ganglia is reporting that I'm pushing up to 200 Petabytes/s through my
network.  Nobody tell the network admin!

I'm running Ganglia 3.0.4 with the Power5 add-ons on AIX5.3

Bytes in and out statistics generally appear to have the right values.
However at random times, I get spikes in the petabytes/s range.

Here's a dump of the bytes_in database.  At first, I suspected perhaps
these coincide with some counters getting reset, but they don't occur at
regular intervals.

Can anyone shed light on what might be happening?  Any pointers for
debugging?
