That overflow is in the kernel itself then? I'm using bc to do these
calculations and it seems ok with large numbers. procps itself uses
long longs. May explain why the calculation varies so much.

The code can use HZ from /usr/include/asm/param.h This is set at 100
now, as Peter's bug report says (the assume is from HZ):
| weasel@field:~$ uptime
| Unknown HZ value! (45) Assume 100.
The code conditionally (#ifdef __linux__) uses elf notes so around there
I'll put a #ifdef __FreeBSD__ clause and
a) if HZ is available, use that
b) make it 100
or can asm/param.h HZ not be trusted?
Thanks everyone for your time, it's cleared up this problem quite
quickly.
