I am stabbing in the dark here, but the duplicate data on my end seems
to be caused by parsing the output of the netstat -s command on *AIX*.
Here, what is different is that the netstat -s command on aix is much
more verbose, showing stuff for ipv4 and ipv6.    Perhaps the "icmp:"
and "icmpv6:" or other similar items is where the parsing breaks, and
supposed duplicates are detected?

Perhaps, but these data should not get anywhere near the code that
prints out this message. The code that generates that message is
the one that parses the output from "netstat -s" which should look like

Ip:
    3017099 total packets received
    1 with invalid addresses
    0 forwarded
    0 incoming packets discarded
    3017058 incoming packets delivered
    3154813 requests sent out
Icmp:
    51081 ICMP messages received
    0 input ICMP message failed.

What does this command report on your host?

Henrik
