linux-2.0.33/libc5/gcc version 2.7.2.3, latest busybox cvs

RX and TX bytes to 0 even if  packets are > 0

$ ./busybox ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:36:80:2B
          inet addr:192.168.1.117  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:32230 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:16662 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:41
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Interrupt:5 Base address:0x250

============================================
linux-2.2.16/glibc-2.1/egcs-2.91.66
RX and TX bytes ok, but ifconfig <dev> does not show the data

$ ./busybox ifconfig eth0
