Thanks!  And now for a weird story of uptime that lies...

I guess recompiling my system over time caused my uptime recycle every 45
days.  I'm still logged in since October, but it currently shows an uptime
of 41 days.  Calculating the numbers from /proc/uptime factor out to 
September, so I'm trying to figger out how uptime, top, and w are munging 
my numbers... grrrrr...
