This comment helped me a lot. Thanks! We already have a "became_up" timestamp 
for each BTS and I was referencing it to set my last_uptime_read value. The 
problem is I was recording an interval for something that should be an absolute 
value. This is what led to all the interval keeping and tracking and could 
introduce drift. I also wasn't treating the stat_item properly. I was still 
using it as a counter and expecting a derive value from statsd.

I've now restructured the patch to be quite minimal. Every INTERVAL seconds I 
set the stat_item to current elapsed uptime for that BTS. Drift should be 
eliminated. The stat_item is now treated as a current value and not a 
difference-from-last value. I've also renamed a lot of the symbols to be very 
clear about what we're doing here.
