Strange behaviour after uptime of 208-209 days

Hi,
we run kernel 2.6.37.6 from opensuse 11.4. All machines with uptimes more
than 208 days show strange behaviour. The scheduler seems to avoid some
cores. For example on a 12 core machine only 3 cores are used. I see the
following messages in the logfiles

The representation of the kernel time stamp is near to 2^64. Is there an
integer overflow involved?
Could you please tell me which kernel version fixed this bug?
Thanks
Christoph
