For what it is worth, here is the current version of this code that we are using in Tahoe-LAFS:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/src/allmydata/__init__.py?annotate=blame&rev=5033#L36

You can see the results on our buildbot:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/waterfall?show_events=false

In the tahoe-version build step, e.g.:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot/builders/Eugen%20lenny-amd64/builds/820/steps/tahoe-version/logs/stdio

Which says:

platform: Linux-debian_5.0.6-x86_64-64bit
