Looks like some kernel binary interface (as seen by
emulators/virtualbox-ose-addition ) has changed:
rebuilding emulators/virtualbox-ose-addition removed
the booting crash but uname -apKU still lists 1200021
and 2100021 for the kernel and world for -r313999,
just like for -r313864.

[Unfortunately lumina no longer processes my mouse clicks
so now I've got something else to figure out.]
