Description Leo Bicknell 2001-09-20 15:30:03 UTC

 It's rounding to minutes when it shouldn't, uptime only displays
 seconds for very short uptimes, and then always rounds to minutes.
 Your patch causes it to truncate, which is probably the right
 thing to do, the alternative would be:
 
 if (uptime > 60) uptime += 30;
 
 That way it won't start rounding until a full minute has passed, 
 allowing the first 60 seconds to be displayed properly.  This has
 less of a chance of breaking things depending on the rounding,
 but I would hope ther are none of those.
