1165 hours - 2^32 milliseconds. Sounds like something rolled over..... Supposedly this was once a Windows problem, although I've never encountered it. You are reading a millisecond value with a 32-bit counter, and it's top bit is overflowing. Don't run Linux here, Volker, so I can't suggest a solution.
