I think this is not the proper fix. A more appropriate fix is to
actually get uptime to work, which is a oneliner. See my patch posted
at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/387971/.

I'll mark your patch as Rejected in patchwork. Of course, if you
disagree, feel free to turn back your patch to the "New" state with an
explanation.

Thanks a lot for noticing this issue in the first place!
