Care to elaborate a bit on that, is there more information somewhere,
a bug report, anything ? I ask because the 300 seconds uptime rings
a bell, maybe not relevant, but suspicious at least. The kernel was
(maybe still is) initializing the timer (if I remember correctly) subsystem
5 minutes before wraparound, just so it is easier to catch bugs, by making
those wraparound bugs easier triggerable...

That should be easy enough to bissect, if you have a reproducer.
