 I'll research this issue
 
 to tell the truth, I didn't quite catch the difference and the ways of 
 step 1 and 2. possibly first step (upgrading to 5.4-RC3) was done using 
 binary upgrade
 
 Translation of original PR description follows
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 /usr/ports/net-mgmt/bpft/ works fine in 5.3-RELEASE-p10
 
 1) the system was upgraded to 5.4-RC3
 bpft starts and works, but `trafstat -i ng0` hangs and `trafsave all` 
 shows nothing
 
 2) the system was upgraded to RELENG_5_3 further
 
 new world was built, new kernel was built and installed, but new world 
 was not installed, i.e. new kernel was built using old world
 
 such a system runs bpft fine, so the originator suspects the troubles in 
 bpf(4) of the RELENG_5_3 branch
