497 days uptime = 0 days uptime ?(uptime rolloveR)
I think i remember this was a kernel bug a long time ago
in earlier versions but didn't think 2.2.18 was affected.
I have a machine that I believe recently hit 500 days of uptime
and yet it shows only uptime of 2 days. HOWEVER, it shows that
it's "idle" time is still 493 days (according to procinfo).
my only guess is the uptime rolled over(ARRRGH!)
infact I'm sure of it.. theres no way in hell it could have
accumulated so many disk writes in 2 days(its a low usage
system). from procinfo:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. fuck. what a pisser.
I had read originally that this "bug" occured mostly in
SMP systems, but I guess UP systems get there once the uptime
gets high enough
god damnit! i had it going good too. i guess it can keep
going. screwed up that that happened though :(
