On Linux, it was:
Linux wolfe 2.6.20-1-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 24 21:10:58 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I don't have the laptop handy, so I'm not sure what version of
Darwin/OS-X was involved there; it's the latest version of, erm,
Tiger...

When I'm seeing the *same* behaviour on Linux as on MacOS, I'm mighty
suspicious that it's *not* a kernel issue.
