Yes, with ports tag=. just means the latest version, with the base
system it means the latest CURRENT, you should have used
RELENG_8_1_0_RELEASE or RELENG_8_1

I believe CURRENT has a lot of additional debug on by default, and
presumably you now have a mismatched kernel and userland, so it's
not surprizing.

If you have only built the kernel and only built it once you should have
the old 8.1 version as a backup.
