they shouldn't.. your only going to have a 32 bit or a 64 bit counter.  So
what happens when you get that counter full?  your software craps out again?

The software needs to determine wether it's a 32 or 64 bit counter, and
check to see if it's lowe than it was last time it was checked.

Or do like SB and just reset the unit every time you do something like check
a counter so you always have the pre-basis of 0 to start from.. oh wait..
that's a firmware bug...  :D

When a radio is reset/restarted, the counters are set back to zero.
Some SNMP monitoring packages don't handle that too well - they think
that the value has wrapped around so you get
abs(previous_value - INT_MAX)/polling_interval
