When I was looking into vm_region, I came across <http://

G5 (10.4.8).
According to a quick grep in /Library/Receipts, the binary and man
page are both in Essentials.pkg (part of the default OS install,
afaik). Maybe you didn't reinstall the OS yourself after getting
your machine from Apple, and that binary somehow got missing from
ASR image they use to initialise their shipping machines? (I always
reinstall/customize the OS after getting a new machine).
It's in my /Library/Receipts/Essentials.pkg as well.
I've had this computer for quite some time so I've upgraded at least
to 10.4. In fact, quite recently, something very strange happened and
bc no longer works. I get:
$ bc
dyld: Symbol not found: _history
Referenced from: /usr/bin/bc
Expected in: /usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib
Trace/BPT trap
A few times a day, that same message pops up but for /usr/bin/nicl. I
think a software update broke something. I should probably just
reinstall the OS and re-upgrade from 10.4.3 to 10.4.8.
