There is strange packets dropping on new kernels

Hi.

I noticed that tcpdump shows many dropped packets on new kernels.
It looks like that:

# tcpdump -n -i eth0 -c 10
...
10 packets captured
10 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
4294967268 packets dropped by interface
# uname -r
3.10.7

On old kernels the same command doesn't drop anything.
# tcpdump -n -i eth0 -c 10
10 packets captured
140 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
# uname -r
3.8.11

What can I do to fix it? Or is it right?
Thanks.
