Description Radim Kolar 2004-01-17 16:40:16 UTC 
When system crashes while uptimed is updating his record file, all entries
in the file are lost. This simple patch writes records into temporary
file and rename it to original. Tested and works.

How-To-Repeat: Press reset button while uptimed is running, if you are lucky, softupdates
sets file length to zero. It happens to me 2 times on linux with 
reiserfs journaling and 3 times 
on freebsd with softupdates.
