I guess SHOW SYSTEM doesn't do the equivalent of F$GETSYI("BOOTTIME").

I mentioned this because I once heard of a system whose boottime (or
some field indicating when it was booted) got set into the future, and
SHOW SYSTEM showed a date in 1858 or 1859 after the word "Uptime" instead
of a delta time.
