The bit in [] must refer to something else I think: on this box for
instance

 $ uptime
 19:03:43 up 3 days, 20:44,  3 users,  load average: 0.34, 0.37, 0.31

Recent entry in my /var/log/kern.log  :
Sep 25 16:14:32 prospero kernel: [17503267.704000] 

Which also works out to 202 days and change :-) Doesn't quite fit,
somehow ... !
