Thanks for the report.  But 'uname --version' would have been best.

No I do not see the problem in the above output.

Everything looks fine to me.  Perhaps a cut-n-paste missed posting the
problem?

Here is the output from my machine.

  uname --version
  uname (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11

  uname -v
  #1 Sun Apr 14 13:19:11 EST 2002

  uname -r
  2.4.18-k7

Really, though, the only portable output to count on from the uname
command is uname with no options.  That prints the system name.  All
else is os dependent.  I recommend avoiding it.  (However, uname -a is
useful for reporting bugs to tell us what system you are using all in
one pass.)
