I just committed a patch for kern/7899 which fixes some security
issues with F_SETOWN, fixes some related bugs, and tidies things up
a bit.  This patch increases the size of the proc and pgrp structures,
which affects some userland programs.  When you next build your kernel
with /usr/src/sys/proc.h version 1.60 or newer, you'll also need to
update /usr/include/sys, and rebuild the following libraries and programs.
	libkvm
	lkm/vinum
	fstat
	gcore
	gdb
	ipfilter
	ps
	top
	w

You should be able to update your includes by doing something like
"cd /usr/src/include; env MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX=/usr/obj/elf make install".
