I recently upgraded to WB 2.03, with disks labelled "Kickstart v37.74",
"Extras v37.33" plus the basic workbench disk (no version number) and the
install disk (v2.6).  When I boot, it says "Kickstart v37.33, Workbench v36.68".

Shouldn't this be "Workbench v37.33"?  The file version.number in sys:t has
this number in it, but the Workbench variable that the startup-sequence uses to
print that message is always set to 36.68.

What's the story?
