Given that those existing fe/pe/brk/oe fields only appear when they're
non-zero, existing parsing code needs to be tolerant of different sets
of fields being present/absent. Hopefully that means that a new field
shouldn't be too much of a surprise?

Otherwise, I'm happy to report the buf_overrun count elsewhere, if
there's a more suitable place.

Cheers,


Jeremy
