Description: running netstat results in an error parsing the SNMP service: <<error parsing /proc/net/snmp: Success>>

This seems to be a netstat issue, which has been fixed in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=131539

Additional info:
* package version(s): net-tools 1.60-14


Steps to reproduce:

[tim@serenity ~]$ sudo netstat -s
[snip]
error parsing /proc/net/snmp: Success

I included a little patch that seems to work. Use the one named simply "patch". You would need to include it in the PKGBUILD and build net-tools to fix it.

The idea on how to fix it came from Fedora. Also this bug is the same as https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18957 which also includes a patch.
What is wrong with the current version is that an array size is not large enough for the amount of data it is wanting to put in it. The fix is to up the array from size 1024 to 2048

   patch (0.6 KiB)

Is this still an issue with net-tools 1.60.20110819cvs-1 ?
