[BLUG] 4 million % of the CPU?!?

# ps auxw | sed -n '1p;/^syslog/p' | column -t

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
syslog 1910 4031380 0.2 185272 852 ? Sl Jun08 20286228:34 rsyslogd -c4


What the hell? This host has only been up for 5 days, but it claims to
have used 845,257 days of CPU time. Anyways, I don't recall seeing this
kind of error in the process table before so I thought I'd share.
