  Modified:    sys/kern  kern_sysctl.c
  Log:
  This implements enough of the BSDI extensions to the net-2 ogetkerninfo()
  syscall to allow applications linked against their libc's uname() to
  work.  Netscape 1.1N being a prime example, which prints:
  "uname() failed. cant tell what system we're running on".
  This change is a little ugly, but that's mainly because of the "interesting"
  semantics of the BSDI extension.
  Since ogetkerninfo() is only enabled by COMPAT_43, Netscape will only
  be affected on kernels with that option (eg: "GENERIC")
