I speak from experience with 2.8 BSD for PDP-11's, so I do not guarantee
that my answer applies for 4.1.  The accounting record for a process is
written after the process terminates.  Thus, if a process runs for more
than 12 hrs elapsed time, it is entirely possible to get a total CPU
time greater than 12 hrs.
