Are you looking at /etc/athena/version directly or via athinfo? While it
seems like a reasonable change either way the latter was recently changed
to not cat that file but instead run "echo `machtype -L` on `machtype -E`".
(In the latter case, adding "installed at <date>" seems easy enough if
there's a good place from which to pull a timestamp.)

I think this has been addressed in the more recent round of mail, but if
you're still seeing it please let us know.
Thanks for the bug reports!
