Is there any pattern in what kinds of interfaces this occur on?  Are
they of a specific type or on a specific host or cathegory of hosts?

Perhaps there is a bug in the handling of counter roll over (the latter
is when a counter reach it's maximum value and then starts over at it's
lowest possible value) and some software mistakes the huge (negative)
delta to be the actual number of bytes being transmitted.
