It's funny that windoze went for years without anybody ever realizing about the 49 day crash - heck, one crash every 49 days is lost in the noise on a windoze pee cee - no wonder they never noticed.
OTOH, when our Linux uptimes went back to zero at 497 days, I noticed immediately, and screamed bloody murder until I found it was just a timer wraparound.
