If that is the case, it's a bug and you should file a = PR. This gets even more interesting. Unfortunately I do need to makeworld = as sendmail needs SMTP-AUTH and that requires a rebuild.

I seem to recall that = uname gets its info from motd which shows: FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p10 (LAFN) #0: Wed Jul 16 22:26:22 PDT 2014 That is the date/time when I did the buildworld/buildkernel. = kern.osrelease and kern.version show the same thing.
