Okay, let me be a little clearer ;) What(1) on the kernel no longer works
because previously, the
char sccs[] = { '@', '(', '#', ')' };
char version[] = blahhhfoooooo;
Was contiguous. However, nowadays, nice EGCS pads 4 bytes (WHY?!?!) between
those. So it appears "@(#)\0\0\0\0FreeBSD....." in the binary. Of course,
strings are null-terminated... :P I don't know why EGCS does this!
