Nope. (See my previous posting on this). ps/w/libkvm/kernel mismatches
oszillate these days. I wouldn't have asked if it would have been the 
'usual' 'proc size mismatch' error.

It turned out that it had been a missing /procfs (which I disabled
recently due to some transient defunct mount_std).

Bet lost, see above :-)
