OK interesting, in both cases I was building the package from my local 
ports tree (via "make package").  i should have better explained that in 
previous emails.

i verified my checkout was up to date as well (it includes your latest 
commits from Sunday and Monday).

i'm happy now running the current-kmod but let me know if it'd be 
helpful to do any more tests or provide additional info.
