    Hello,

    I see the following on a dual PPro -stable; same sources
    (and config, apart form ethernet driver) on UP Athlon and
    SMP PIII work OK :

    box is up just 19 minutes, but top shows 96, 225, 164 minutes for
    various processes.
    This is just a backup-server and works OK;
    top -I -s1 shows seconds just going up as expected and then suddenly
    the minutes jump high.
    No problem other whatsoever, I vaguely remember -current has the same
    "problem" for some.

    FYI, Arno
