idle time and user time as negative value?

I'm monitoring the CPU usage of my NodeJS application by the means of the os.cpus() function. When printing the return values of the function, I noticed some cores show negative values for user time and idle time. Is that even possible?

Edit:

Here is one of the CPUs in the returned object of that function call.

{ model: 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E7540  @ 2.00GHz',
    speed: 1064,
    times: { 
        user: -599586196,
        nice: 46900,
        sys: 726751700,
        idle: -1356274912,
        irq: 1000 
    } 
},

This error was due to a conversion error in the file node_os.cc in the /src folder of Node.JS. The problem and the solution are shown here https://github.com/joyent/node/commit/50e88d0. As a matter of fact, I was using an old version of node (0.8.12). Upgrading to the latest version fixed the bug.
