savecore no longer works ... /kernel version mismatch

'k, now one of my other machines is getting the same thing on a crash:

savecore: warning: /kernel version mismatch:    "FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #2: Fri Jun 20 18:34:14 ADT 2003 " and      ""

It was working, last successful savecore on that machine was Jun 6th:

-rw-------  1 root  wheel  4227792896 Jun  6 23:58 vmcore.1
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  4227792896 Jun  6 10:37 vmcore.0

nothing in /etc/rc.conf has changed:

jupiter# grep dump /etc/rc.conf
dumpdev="/dev/da0s1b"
dumpdir="/vm/crash"    # Directory where crash dumps are to be stored
jupiter# pstat -s
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/da0s1b       8388480        0  8388480     0%    Interleaved


Last one on pluto (the one I originally reported) was on May 28th:

pluto# ls -lt May9
total 2836272
-rw-------  1 root  wheel  1142062312 May 30 10:33 vmcore.2.gz
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   904014748 May 28 01:23 vmcore.1.gz
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     2551738 May 28 01:02 kernel.debug.gz
-rw-------  1 root  wheel   854899279 May 28 01:01 vmcore.0.gz

and, again, /etc/rc.conf hasn't changed any ...

savecore and kernel are from the same build/install:

jupiter# ls -ld /kernel /sbin/savecore
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2029005 Jun 22 00:36 /kernel
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   168364 Jun 22 00:35 /sbin/savecore


I haven't modified my /etc/make.conf build settings, nor my kernel
settings, in awhile:

jupiter# ls -ld /sys/i386/conf/kernel
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2867 Apr 30 01:07 /sys/i386/conf/kernel
jupiter# ls -ld /etc/make.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  638 Apr 30 01:14 /etc/make.conf
