'uptime' command producing incorrect uptime

Hi there,

It appears to me that the uptime command is not producing the correct 
uptime and, in fact, is running twice as fast as it should be.

M2Ys4U@JACK ~
$ uptime
 22:03:00 up 98 days, 13:37,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

M2Ys4U@JACK ~
$ uptime
 22:13:00 up 98 days, 13:57,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

10 mins have passed, but the uptime has increased by 20 mins!

I'm running a 3.0 GHz Intel P4 with hyperthreading - could the 
hyperthreading be causing this?

cygcheck output is attached.

Regards,
Jack Allnutt
