Older Linux's have been recently discovered to count uptime to 497 days then using a new form of math 497 + 1 = 0 . I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with a Honeywell emulation layer. (For those who don't know Honeywell(IFRC) mainframes had both -0 and +0, and although -0 = +0, (0-1) != (-0+1) go figure) James
