Kernel processes and threads appear to have a start time of 0 (i.e. the epoch). This should probably be set to the system boot time instead. The idle thread accrues run-time when your system is idle (i.e. as it runs :), so providing your machine has been up for at least 1301 minutes there's no problem there. Kris
