No. sysUpTime is defined as
"The time (in hundredths of a second) since the
network management portion of the system was last
re-initialized."
and in this context the network managment portion of the system usually
is taken to mean the snmp daemon, so it works as designed.
Also, since a TimeTick will wrap in only about 400 days many systems
probably sees wraps during a single run of the daemon.
