Plus there are some (some 4G and some wifi) Wireless base stations
with an Octeon installed and using Cavium's simple-exec which uses
newlib underneath.  There are at least I say a 10-100k of those
devices around running for the last 4 years; some running for the last
6 years now too.

So billions of hours is more likely.
