8.2-RELEASE-p3 is still 8.2-RELEASE.  In SVN terms, this is
releng/8.2.  In CVS terms, this is tag=RELENG_8_2.  aka "the security
branch for 8.2".

This is not 8-STABLE (or 8.2-STABLE).

In SVN terms, you need to update to stable/8
In CVS terms, you need to update to tag=RELENG_8

The version number shown by "uname -a" will then show either 8-STABLE
or 8.2-STABLE.
