If you re-cvsup your sources with the RELENG_4 tag, that should bring your sources back to -stable. If you want to be double sure, you can "rm -r /usr/src" before you do your cvsup.

You haven't upgraded your base system at all. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vini, vidi, velcro...
