	The kernel is at patch 7, but userland is at patch 9 - which simply
means that the latest two patches did not affect the kernel. To see both
kernel and userland versions currently installed use:

freebsd-version -ku

	No it's just that binary upgrades that don't include the kernel
don't bump the kernel version but if you rebuild the kernel after a source
upgrade it will even though nothing else has changed in the kernel.
