Hmm. I think we have a problem...  Netscape appear to be using the
BSDI getkerninfo(... SYSINFO ...) structure as a heavy seed in it's
secure random number generator.  We return zeros for 95% of the
structure.  I think it might be time to investigate filling in some of
the easier ones...

But if you're getting the uname() failure thing, then you're running
on a kernel without the patch at all... You'd be starting with a
torally zeroed structure... :-(
