FreeBSD strange 3.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Apr 21 23:40:33 PDT 2000

 2:46PM  up 311 days, 12:04, 2 users, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

It has been up more than 311 days, though I don't remember what
happened 311 days ago.  This is my NAT router, home nameserver, and
otherwise useful home host.  I sysgenned the kernel myself, as the
generic one didn't include NAT at the time.  Other than power outages,
it could have been running 11 years.

The load is normally pretty low, even when NAT is keeping it busy.
