The problem is even more easily solved than that.  Try to remember that
the string ``UNIX'' is a registered trademark of AT&T which is used
[ according to their lawyers ;-) ] to describe a particular product
produced by AT&T.

Since we are all using the most recent ;-) implementation of that AT&T
product, it should be safe to assume ``UNIX'' describes S5R3, until
such time as S5R4 is released.
