Yup, I remember finding a bug with scrollbars on Irix when Emacs'
version number was changed from 21.0.106 to 21.1.

Maybe somebody can do a grep on the sources and double-check the uses
of emacs-\(major\|minor\)-version?  Code that in maintained within
Emacs' CVS shouldn't have to use those variables (except as
informative output for users).
