[iPAQ] Re: [Familiar] ipaq-sleep and uptime incorrect

This almost certainly has nothing to do with ipaq-sleep, in and of
itself. All ipaq-sleep does is scan the various "places" for activity
and eventually submit the *system* command /sbin/pm-helper suspend.

At present ipaq-sleep does *not* interact with the kernel at all,
instead relying purely on reading /proc files itself for apm and
interupts (although before version 1.0, I should make it more
sophisticated so it runs with less overhead, although the overhead as it
is, is not large).

In any case, I would be shocked if ipaq-sleep has done anything that
should affect /proc/uptime in any way.
