Stats clarification

I poked through the bind-users archives @ isc.org, and found Kevin Darcy's
explanation of the DNS stats output quite useful
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bind-users&m=97172754621769&w=2).
However, I can't quite figure out all of the fields that NSTATS outputs.

31-May-2001 00:00:41.861 NSTATS 991281641 980865781 0=1265 A=80630699
NS=4428 CNAME=678617 SOA=2373103 MB=10544 MG=81532 MR=14520 PTR=131693
HINFO=20 MINFO=2 MX=16062319 TXT=385 RP=8 AFSDB=4 AAAA=435859 LOC=78
SRV=43712 38=3541 98=1 AXFR=69310 MAILB=33476 MAILA=1 ANY=4709394

The A, NS, CNAME, et al fields are obvious, but the entries like
"38=3541", "98=1" and "MAILB=33476" have got me stumped.  I took a look at
ns_stats.c, and didn't see any legend for deciphering these non-obvious
entries.

Any suggestions or pointers would be helpful,

Thanks!
