This is what is in HEAD and should fix it:

Index: kern_linker.c
===================================================================
--- kern_linker.c       (revision 183497)
+++ kern_linker.c       (working copy)
@@ -1199,7 +1199,7 @@

        td->td_retval[0] = 0;

-       return (copyout(&stat, uap->stat, sizeof(struct kld_file_stat)));
+       return (copyout(&stat, uap->stat, version));
 }


I will send in a request to MFC it in a second.
