[PLUG] uptime bug in linux kernels


This came up at work yesterday. A customer was notified by Novell that SLES 11 could hang or crash after the uptime exceeded 200 days. We've asked the customer to find out more details. Has anyone heard of this before?

Giggling for uptime and 20 days turned up these two interesting links:

thanks,
