This is a known issue.  HEAD has diverged from the sources that the =
patch was generated against.=20

I've been running with a HEAD from 2008-08-24 with the patch and =
upgraded ZFS pool/FS's and
have no complaints.  I'm just waiting patiently for pjd@FreeBSD.org to =
either
update the patch or commit the updated bits to HEAD.

I'm not going to update my system again till something is in svn/cvs.
