Hi.  I see that 41 years, 7 weeks,...,46 seconds is

	$ TZ=EST5EDT date -d @`dc -e '41 365*7 7*+6+24*3+60*26+60*46+p'`
	Mon Feb 14 22:26:46 EST 2011

about 13 min. before your post, meaning Asterisk apparently used 0 as
its start time when calculating uptime.  How do you set the system time?

Is it possible that Asterisk starts before the time is set?  Do you run
"ntpdate -b" at startup, or set the time by some other means before
the boot completes?

Could this result in some really humorous CDRs?
