OK, you just broke all previous tc binaries.

I wonder why people keep posting such buggy patches, while we are slowly
doing all the right changes for this problem, in the kernel and
userland.

Guys, if it was that simple, we would have done it years ago.

In the mean time, I suggest you update your iproute2 package to include
the fix for this problem (commit a303853e844ce4
"get_rate: detect 32bit overflows")
