ipReasmTimeout in /proc/net/snmp is wrong

[Marty Leisner]

In RFC1213/2011, it says:

ipReasmTimeout OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      Integer32
    MAX-ACCESS  read-only
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
            "The maximum number of seconds which received fragments are
            held while they are awaiting reassembly at this entity."
    ::= { ip 13 }

This is correctly reflected in
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_time

>From /proc/net/snmp:
IP:ReasmTimeout is a counter -- incremented in net/ipv4/ip_fragment/ip_expire.

I think this is incorrect.
(this is in all kernels from 2.6.20-30).

Note sure what will be the most expedient way to rectify this.
