I've noticed that, on Vista, "net stats srv" always seems to return

On this Vista system right now "net stats srv" says:
Statistics since 27/01/2009 16:04:50
systeminfo says
System Boot Time: 29/01/2009, 12:13:49
There is an event in the event log:
Log Name: System
Source: EventLog
Date: 27/01/2009 16:04:44
Event ID: 6013
Task Category: None
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A

Description:
The system uptime is 39 seconds.
There is nothing in the event log near 29/01/2009, 12:13:49 that suggests a
reboot happened then, and I don't think I rebooted then and the latest
USER32/1074 "Shutdown Type: restart" was at 27/01/2009 14:44:39.
A later event says:
Date: 30/01/2009 12:00:59
The system uptime is 85630 seconds.
Which is consistent with the 29/01/2009, 12:13:49 time and so almost
certainly wrong.
This is a dual core laptop that has been in hibernation since booting so
make what you will of what the numbers say. If Windows does not have a way
to report last boot time accurately then there is not really anything
cygwin can do to get around that.
