You're welcome, and I was going to say I probably can't help.  But, I
just ran ps -auxw, and I may see the problem.  The display is somewhat
misleading, but it does not show a start time for a task, it shows a
start date, and something like the total amount of time a task has run. 
(Aside, I haven't gone to the man page to pin down more precisely what
that time represents, and I think it is reset under some circumstance,
but I don't know that either.

(At least, that's what my display shows.)

Hope this helps,
