	Not all updates change the kernel so it is very possible for the
kernel version (which uname reports) to be older than the latest update
installed. In 10.3 there's freebsd-version which reports the system version
as distinct from the kernel version to resolve this problem, I'm not sure
if it has been backported to 9.3 though - try it and see.
