Yep, that change broke CrashPlan's JNI module that handles inotify on Linux because they were checking only the minor version number.

I had to write a shared library to override the call and inject that into the CrashPlan process so it'd be happy. Fun times.

When FreeBSD 9 was released, and the development tree thus became FreeBSD 10, a lot of applications broke. GNU autotools considered a FreeBSD version number starting with 1 as FreeBSD 1.

Historical note: FreeBSD1 was rebased after the AT&T lawsuit on top of the unencumbered Berkeley release as FreeBSD2. To run FreeBSD1, you probably still need an AT&T UNIX license.
