Digital UNIX uses the Mach kernel, with the UNIX services provided by
a 4.3 Reno derivitive. I don't know if it's still a "single server" or
if they've got it running more completely under Mach... I suspect they
have.

System V interfaces are provided by library routines front-ending BSD and
Mach services.
