"kget" also stopped working with difficult to debug problem (stack frame gets corrupted, and I really don't see why). Anyway, in the meantime I added new sysctl machdep.uc_devlist which retrieves list of devices which has been changed during UserConfig session. IMHO, this is the proper way to do it anyway, instead of dirty hacks with /dev/kmem, symbols list etc. etc. So, my development copy of "kget" works just fine again, and what with dset - I don't know. "kget" doesn't write this stuff back to the kernel image (what a disgusting idea...), it just creates /kernel.config. If we come to conclusion that this is what dset should do as well, we can simply rename kget->dset.
