This sed script must be new, then. Here's what I get from that macro
on 10.4.11:
8.11.1
Note: this is how the Mac OS X versions and darwin/xnu versions line up:
10.5.2
9.2.2
10.4.11
8.11.1
The third position in the kernel version is independent of the 3rd
position in the Mac OS X version. For the kernel, the third position
corresponds to a (released) version of the xnu kernel.
Thus, as of 10.5.2, there have been three ""10.5" kernels, 9.2.0,
9.2.1, and 9.2.2). It's possible that not everyone will see a given
point-release of a kernel (e.g., when a major new platform is
released, it may require a point-release of the kernel). Note also
that these "positions" need not be single digits. We've seen that in
10.4 (the minor Mac OS X releases 10.4.10 and 10.4.11 broke a number
of software hacks that expected only single digits).
