Bug Description

I have a dual-boot computer Hoary/Breezy. From Hoary I ran fsck to check the
Breezy root partition. A few minutes later I rebooted into Breezy and during
the booting sequence it reported that it had been 49709 days since the lack
check, so a fsck was then forced. Obviously that number of days is wrong.
