then i assume that the current machine isn't a 32-bit Linux machine, since
its kernel's jiffies variable would have recycled after about 1.3 years,
and as far as i understood, no one before tested what would happen in such
a case.
as far as i know, the jiffies variable's handling was changed to allow for
much larger uptimes (at least as far as jiffies is concerned) or years. on
the other hand, there is no 2.4 kernel based machine that had an uptime of
anything close to 2 years, since this kernel's version did not yet exist
so long ;)
