How to get system attribute 'sysv' in Classic Env with AS 1.6?

In a classic script app, I need to know the sysv attribute, regardless whether it is running under 8.6, 9.x or Classic Env under OS X.
However, doing:
computer "sysv"
or
system attribute "sysv"
in the applet does not work in Classic Env with AppleScript 1.6, unless one previously has run the same thing in OS X directly. Something gets "exercised" after it has been run in OS X so that it also works in Classic.
Since the app is for distribution, upgrading AS is no option.

If the user has just logged in, and Classic has been started, how on earth can I get the 'sysv', i.e the gestalt, in a classic script application?
