Raritan Dominion KX-II KVM switch

We have a new remote accessible KVM switch. Of course we monitor from it as much as possible, including the sysUptime (an excellent way to catch devices which reboot within a one minute period). Only...

Only, the sysUptime gives an interesting answer:

DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (270416251) 31 days, 7:09:22.51
[...reboot...]
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (4291368169) 496 days, 16:28:01.69
[...reboot...]
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (957) 0:00:09.57
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (1163) 0:00:11.63
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (1334) 0:00:13.34
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (4291368783) 496 days, 16:28:07.83
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (4291368895) 496 days, 16:28:08.95
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (4291369006) 496 days, 16:28:10.06
[...]

It looks good for a couple of seconds, but then... Disabling NTP resolves these symptons.
