   Sorry, being an ex Bell Labs researcher, I have to give credit where credit is   
   due.   
   While you're correct in that the version of BSD at the time was 4.1,   
   the official version of UNIX at the time (System III) was still controlled by   
   AT&T/Bell Labs.   
   It was soon succeeded by System V which included features from BSD.   
      
   Thank God the movie didn't make any references to Solaris -- I'm sure   
   the Master Control Program (Larry Ellison) would love free marketing for his   
   product.
