If the older kernel is only days old, then you should feel confident.
Note: right now the ports tree is locked, 4.5-beta has completed, final bugs are being worked on (the src tree is effectively locked except for 4.5-release work), and 4.5-release is within days of being tagged.

Thx for response..
Yes Sir.. -current is always a moving target.. seems like it move faster
only when I choose to update.. ;-)
the new kernel is 4 days old..
So I guess I will reboot with new kernel and rebuild the binaries..
however; this means that I will physically have to be at my other
remote box for the same issue..
Dumb question..
If I rebuild the binaries with the "old kernel" dated Jan 1,2009
then reboot with the new kernel..
Will that work..???
thx rk
