-	  <para>The problem is that the application you are trying to

-	      <para>Your kernel and userland are not synchronized (i.e.,
-		you built a new kernel but did not do an
-		<maketarget>installworld</maketarget>, or vice versa),
-		and thus the symbol table is different from what the
-		user application thinks it is.  If this is the case,
-		simply complete the upgrade process (see
-		<filename>/usr/src/UPDATING</filename> for the correct

-		there is nothing wrong with bypassing
-		<command>/boot/loader</command>, it generally does a
