It's an overflow in the uptime calculation, and isn't much to worry about; I have a couple of systems that have been reporting that for months now. It appears to trigger after 2^32 scheduling clock ticks have passed, triggering a calculation overflow, and may be fixed in newer versions of procps and/or the kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
