} That's correct. What's really going on is that "uname -v" outputs a
} space at the end.
}
} % echo ">>`uname -v`<<"

} so if you split on slashes and get the last piece, it is indeed "SUNDAE ".
} awk is performing as you ask it to.
Thanks for pointing it out. This tells that GNU awk is innocent.
Then, the futher question is "Can we change uname to make no space at the end?"
I am happy to fix it, but every one have to agree to do so. Comments?
