Opteron bandwidth report failure


Hello All,

At Iperf 2.0 bandwidth reports seem to fail at AMD Opteron, ruunning
Debian Linux.

Output server:

Without bandwidth reports it seems to work fine:

What could be the problem, the 64 bit integers may be? Compilation was
completely straightforward with "./configure && make".

   Kind regards,
