freebsd-update not updating kernel?

Consider checking freebsd-version(1) output as:

> The following options are available:
> -k          Print the version and patch level of the installed kernel.
>   Unlike uname(1), if a new kernel has been installed but the system
has not yet rebooted, freebsd-version will print the version and patch
level of the new kernel.

And as you get from this quote, the following:

> % lsof >/dev/null
> lsof: WARNING: compiled for FreeBSD release 9.3-RELEASE-p45; this is
> 9.3-RELEASE-p43.

might occur if you forgot to reboot.

Yeah, it's a stupid advice and you've probably rebooted, but just in case.
