I think there is an overflow at around 480 days. Look at /proc/uptime, maybe there is another value there.
There has been some discussion of uptime wraparound in summary articles of kernel development on http://lwn.net, IIRC some fixes went in last year, so you could check the exact max. reportable uptime for different kernel versions by googling for it. Rob
