    /bin/uname is ignoring switches

    Running Kubuntu 5.10 + ubuntu-desktop meta package
    Kernel 2.6.12-10-powerpc
    This is a fresh and up-to-date installation. Nothing has been 'modified' so far.

    /bin/uname ignore any switches I feed to it:

    Code:
      [virgule @ ~ ]# uname
    Linux foxtwo 2.6.12-10-powerpc #1 Mon Feb 13 12:22:10 UTC 2006 ppc GNU/Linux
      [virgule @ ~ ]# uname -r
    Linux foxtwo 2.6.12-10-powerpc #1 Mon Feb 13 12:22:10 UTC 2006 ppc GNU/Linux
      [virgule @ ~ ]# uname -a
    Linux foxtwo 2.6.12-10-powerpc #1 Mon Feb 13 12:22:10 UTC 2006 ppc GNU/Linux

    uname: invalid option -- w
    Try `uname --help' for more information.
    What is the fix?
