"Up Time" question

[eagle63]

So my Evo spontaneously rebooted itself for the first time today. (I've owned it for about 1 1/2 weeks) It happened right after I was disconnecting a bluetooth headset. Anyway, here's something interesting I noticed: If I go look at the up-time timer (in settings --> about phone --> battery) the clock shows 227 hours and counting. WTF?? I expected it to have started over at zero again.

My Theory:
I came from a Palm Pre, which like Android runs on linux, and often-times when the Pre would spontaneously reboot itself, it wasn't actually linux that rebooted. Instead, it was the Palm's "Luna" application stack (which runs on top of Linux) that restarted. I'm wondering if something similar is happening on Android? In other words, the Android application stack (for lack of a better term) had to restart itself, but the underlying Linux kernel never rebooted. Therefore, the uptime statistic is reflecting the actual Linux uptime which technically never went down.

Thoughts? This is not really a big deal, more of a new Android-user's curiosity I guess.

I think the problem was more because of the bluetooth. When I had my Evo and connected it to my bluetooth speakers and I powered off my speakers, the phone rebooted itself a couple of times as well. But I never checked the uptime after it rebooted.

yeah, I'm not really looking for answer as to why it rebooted (though that would be nice too I guess), just more of a shout out to see if anyone else has noticed the same thing with the uptime.

I have noticed the same.

BTW: I don't use bluetooth and the evo is normaly just hanging out in my pocket when it re boots.
