What steps will reproduce the problem?  
1. Have server with no space after interface name in /proc/net/dev output
2. Run get_io_counters(pernic = True)
3. Output will have nic names like eth0:4046496815 and values will be off 

What version of psutil are you using? What Python version?  
Python 2.7, psutil 0.4.1 

On what operating system? Is it 32bit or 64bit version?

This looks like a duplicate of issue 248 which is already fixed in the 
development trunk.
