Its been deprecated since 10.8.

There's no direct replacement but the following thread http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1808386 mentions and discusses some alternetives.

Getting 10.9.0 also appears to be a feature:

"If the values of the minor or bug fix revision are larger than 9, then

gestaltSystemVersion

will substitute the value 9 for them"

- Xcode 6.1 docs (OSX 10.9.5)

This is probably due to classical MacOS enforcing usage of only one digit (0-9) in the minor and bug fix parts of the version number.
