>Environment:

P5/166, ASUS MB, 32MB ram, Adaptec SCSI

>Description:

I ran an CPU intensive job, timing it with /usr/bin/time and the result was
     2097.84 real         0.00 user      2013.06 sys

which is very wrong, since its almost all user time.  I rebooted and ran
again and got:

     2405.01 real      2025.56 user         2.25 sys

which is as expected.

I had experienced this previously with the times system call in another
program on 2.2-960612-SNAP, bug kern/1500.  This was closed due to not
reproducing it.

>How-To-Repeat:

Unknown.  Problem is intermittent and infrequent.

>Fix:
	
Unknown.
