Well, sofar nothing - as far as I can tell, despite the overrun counter 
increasing, none of the mib counters are moving: IF-MIB::ifInErrors, 
IF-MIB::ifOutErrors, IF-MIB::ifInDiscards, IF-MIB::ifOutDiscards.

I guess it wouldn't be overly difficult to write an extension, but it seems
unlikely that it shouldn't already have been done.
