 I've installed a cron job to dump the Netgraph bridge status messages to a

 STATS=Rec'd response getstats (4) from [10]::
 Args:   { recvOctets=474229151 recvPackets=3322699 recvMulticast=128640

 xmitPackets=2968420 xmitMulticasts=8 xmitBroadcasts=339 }
 
 but to aid diagnosis I would really like to see several values that, 
 according to ng_bridge.h, are in the stats structure, including
 recvRunts, recvInvalid, loopDrops, loopDetects, and memoryFailures.  It 
 looks like all the code is there to report the values of these variables, 
 but I can't seem to find anything that is dropping these variables from 
 ngctl's output.
 
Struct members with zero values aren't shown.
