FBSD82 sec patch -p4, uname still -p3

[Michael Schaefer]

well I know about the newvers.sh. But as far as I understand the advisory (and
the patch) the file sys/kern/uipc_usrreq.c is modified. I'm not that much into
the FreeBSD kernel code. However, isn't this affecting the kernel image?

regards - Michael
