Hi! The BIF statistics(wall_clock) returns the following tuple: {Total_Wallclock_Time, Wallclock_Time_Since_Last_Call}. But after less than 50 days of uptime (exact value is 2^32/(1000*60*60*24)), Total_Wallclock_Time starts to count time from zero, which I believe is not very suitable for most of long-lived tasks.
