Hi around the globe :-)

For inexplicable reasons I came across the following change in sys/param.h
in my latest sup:

diff -c -r1.1.1.35 -r1.1.1.36
*** param.h     1999/07/13 23:34:19     1.1.1.35
--- param.h     1999/07/16 18:21:45     1.1.1.36

Somehow I have the feeling that BSD should not have been redefined -- and
otherwise I'm a little skeptical of the year :-)

Can anyone explain to me what happens (or just tell me that I'm making a
fool of myself...) ?
