Seems like a timekeeping problem --- that uptime is more than 500
years.

Good.

Not that I expect it to help, but do you happen to have the call trace
in your logs?

Unfortunately, no. There was none. I thought it the missing call trace was very odd, then found this: http://damntechnology.blogspot.com/2010/04/linux-crash-debug-tips-i-have-soft.html

That person claims that if it is a userspace process, then the kernel can't provide a traceback. So, I don't know if that means this isn't a kernel bug at all, or if it is a scheduling bug, or what.
