Well I'll elaborete further, the problem is not in 'uname()' but in
incorrect comparisons using 'strcmp()' in several places of sys-linux.c.
...
if (strcmp(utsname.release, "2.1.16") >= 0)
...
That gives incorrect results with utsname.release = "2.1.100"
I've put a 'horrible hacked version' to solve this issue
