vnStat giving me garbage data

Hi, I use vnStat to monitor network speed and such, and I get the following when I execute:

prakhar@inS4n3 ~ $ vnstat -i wlo1

Output (shared via my Dropbox)

I have googled but I can't find much on this. Any ideas?

Is your clock OK? What locale are you using?

Re: vnStat giving me garbage data

the funny thing about that is that everything it should be showing is shown else where in the terminal.
