 * David, perhaps you should try and figure out just what OS I am running:
 * Orbit:root {104}# uname -a
 * FreeBSD Orbit.qcsn.com 2.2-STABLE FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #2: Fri Sep 19 13:56:36 PDT 1997     root@Orbit.aac.dev.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/ORBIT  i386
 * 
 * Now you tell me, is that before or after 2.2.2???

I don't know.  All I know is that you built your kernel on 9/19.

Why does it matter whether it's before or after 2.2.2?  What I need
(if I were David trying to debug your system), what I need is exactly
when you cvsupped (and cvs updated) your stuff last.  Whether you did
that before or after 2.2.2 is really too large of a glanurality to be
of any help.  You are tracking a moving target for christsakes, the
uname can say "FreeBSD-STABLE" for all we care (except that will
be confusing because of 2.1 and 2.2).

Besides, if I show you a uname that says "3.0-CURRENT Fri Jan 18
13:56:36 PST 1998", can you tell whether it's before or after 3.0R?
