My kernel war relatively recent at the time of last boot - build
around March 2nd from -CURRENT sources a few hours before.

If someone runs -CURRENT with default HZ of 100 and moans 247 days
later, his -CURRENT cannot be called -CURRENT any more...

I am now running an up-to-date -CURRENT. I have set HZ=10000, so
I don't have to wait another 50 days. Hope this high HZ value has
no negative impact on the test.

I will inform you in 3 days if anything strange happens again.
