There is also the question of the bogus values on the second line. 
There are some "fixed in top-of-trunk" issues in that area with respect 
to the migrated UDP_STREAM results printing.  The top of trunk also has 
a netperf control message size change, which means you have to make sure 
to update both sides to the top-of-trunk.  (Netperf has never 
"supported" mixing versions though doing so has often "worked.")
