I didn't think that it has had that problem in quite a number of years
now.  Linux should be fully capable of registering uptimes in the years,
if anyone ever got a linux server to stay up that long. I wish I could see
uptimes anywhere near that good.  The best I've had yet was 90 days, then
a power storm dropped the power.
