[ubuntu-us-mi] Really long MySQL cumulated CPU time

[Robert Citek]

Where's the bug:  MySQL, ps, the kernel, other?

I find it somewhat hard to believe that MySQL has used up
1,184,018,576 CPU days.

# pgrep mysql | xargs ps -p
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 2494 ?        1184018576-22:52:29 mysqld

Especially, given that this machine has only been up for a bit over 20 days.

# uptime
 20:11:19 up 19 days,  1:04,  1 user,  load average: 1.49, 1.43, 1.39
