What one always does; fix whatever is busted.

If it's the kernel, go back to your previous kernel.  If it's something 
in userland, either step around it until it's fixed, or back up the 
sources using CVS to a point where it worked and rebuild the fragment, 
or (sometime in the next 6 months, I hope) back out relevant installs.
