I cannot find reliable numbers for 2.6.x; at least one place on the 'net 
claims that it does not wrap for 49,000+ days now.  I don't have any 
clue where in the kernel source one would have to look for that; grep 
for "uptime" returns only 78 hits, though, and I could probably narrow 
it down with a better regex.  I am too tired to think about kernel 
sources at the moment, though...
