You are not snappy enough. :-)

j@uriah 562% uname -v
FreeBSD BUILT-19950429 #20: Sat Apr 29 22:47:04 MET DST 1995
bin@uriah.heep.sax.de:/home/bin/sys/compile/URIAH 

The change from ``2.0-something'' to ``BUILT-someday'' might have
caused this.  My netscape doesn't choke on it, but to quote Terry:

``Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.''

:)

The BUILT-something should be changed to 2.0-BUILT-something (i think
there's even a PR pending).  I didn't break it, so i'm not the person
to fix it...

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
