(In reply to John Hood from comment #13)
Just to clarify for people, while developers try to not adjust the KBI within a
major release, it has never been a commitment.

The bottom line is that all kernel modules from ports should be re-built every
time the kernel is updated. For those running releases, this is for every
release as well as security patches which involve a kernel replacement whether
by a re-build or freebsd-update. For those of us running stable, it is every
time the kernel is updated.

While lsof does not involve a kernel module, it does poke around in the kernel
and will break far more easily with kernel changes than modules as it does its
poking outside the documented KBI.

If you build kernels from source, you can list ports needing updating in
/etc/src.conf like this:
PORTS_MODULES=emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod sysutils/lsof

If you install packages you need to wait until a package build has been
completed after a release. This is usually two or three days, but I have seen
it take as long as a week.
