[2.4] Is a negative rsect in /proc/partitions normal?

[Mike Fedyk]

I'm running 2.4.23-rc5, and I've been running bonnie, burnMMX and burnK7 for
the last few days on my 3 drive md raid5 array, and I noticed that my
rsects[1] have gone negative.  I might consider this normal but /proc/stat
(which only shows hda) doesn't show any negative numbers for the same
stats[2]

Is this a bug?
