Time accounting is all wrong ...

[Ulrich Spörlein]

Hi,

fairly recent -CURRENT, system uptime is 7 min (yeah, it's crashing a
lot lately) and I'm pushing stuff with rsync, but see the TIME column:

last pid:  2013;  load averages:  1.39,  0.74,  0.41           up 0+00:07:59  17:51:32
59 processes:  3 running, 55 sleeping, 1 zombie
CPU: 15.3% user,  0.0% nice, 64.9% system, 17.6% interrupt,  2.3% idle
Mem: 43M Active, 206M Inact, 98M Wired, 216K Cache, 111M Buf, 646M Free
Swap: 1024M Total, 1024M Free

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND

 1664 root          1  44    0  9548K  1132K select   7:49  0.00% powerd

ps(1) numbers are similarly affected, but not as much:

% uptime;ps aux|grep rsync
 5:54PM  up 10 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.98, 0.98, 0.58
uqs      1987   2.0  1.3  75088  13192  ??  S     5:48PM   0:27.92 rsync --server -vlHogDtpre.iLf --delete-during . /data/src
uqs      1985   0.0  1.4  46416  14256  ??  Is    5:48PM   0:53.72 rsync --server -vlHogDtpre.iLf --delete-during . /data/src

Do I have a time machine?
