MRTG shows 100 Mbps peaks after "clear counters" on GE and 10GE ports

Description

On several types of switches, "clear counters" resets all SNMP counters to zero.

However, MRTG does not handle this situation correctly when 64-bit counters are used.

The problem is in rateup.c: 

              if (outr < 0)     /* wrapped 32-bit counter? */
                outr += (long long) 1 << 32;

This code assumes couters are always 32-bit. But for GE and 10GE interfaces, where 64-bit counters are inevitable, the above code performs wrong computation and creates 100 Mbps peaks in graphs
