Gestalt function

	Assalamu 3alaikum, I have an observation that I am unconfortable with. I am using the Gestalt function to determine the version of the Mac OS running. The result is supposed to be in the low order bits of an long variable. So if the OS is 9.1.1 then the low order bytes should be 0000911h (Hexadecimal of course.) If 8.6.0 then it would be 0000860h. However when I run under Mac OS 10.0.2, it returns 0001002h. This looks wrong to me since the logical return value is 0000A02h. Anyone have any comments about this?
