On Windows the call to os.popen('uname %s 2> /dev/null' % option) will print a message saying the file (i.e., /dev/null) cannot be found, which pollutes the output. Ironically it is precisely to prevent such pollution when uname is not found that uname stderr is redirected to /dev/null. The sys.platform check at the start of _syscmd_uname is useless as currently written because under jython sys.platform is 'javaxxx', which masks the "true" platform (or at least the relevant one for this operation).
