What version of Erlang are you running? We reported a bug to the 
Erlang/OTP team a while ago that caused the behaviour you are 
describing. That bug got fixed in R16A, released 7 months ago. See 
http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_src_R16A_RELEASE_CANDIDATE.readme

OTP-10746  The octet counters in the gen_tcp/inet interface could behave
            in unexpected ways on 64bit platforms. The behaviour is now
            as expected.
