I asked the same question Dec 11 as I encountered the same issue.
A number of people responded in private email, suggesting that the kernel 
was not synchronized properly with the userland utilities.  I doubted that, 
as I always rebuild and install world when I rebuild a kernel.

In the last month, I have cvsup'ed and rebuilt both the kernel + world at 
least a dozen times since that time.  The problem still exists.

My machine is a Dual Pentium Pro with a basically-stock SMP kernel, except 
that I have ULE enabled.
