Thank you for the logs and snmpwalk (sent off-list).  I've looked those
over and it looks to me like a bug in the SNMP implementation of your
router; the value it's reporting for sysUptime appears to be measured in
seconds, rather than the documented hundredths of a second (timeticks).
Could you verify this?  I think all you'd have to do is open the status
window for the device and watch the value of sysUptime from one poll
cycle to the next.  If that's true, it would throw off our calculations
by a factor of 100, which would account for the > 100% readings.
