Don't use the source files from the CD. rm -r * the /usr/src tree you have
now, and rebuild it with the most recent tree. Download a file with the
entire source tree up to that point (these are the *xEmpty.gz files, around
67 MB for the latest), then download all the CTM deltas numbered after that
one. For example, you'd want to get src-4.0400xEmpty.gz and then all
src-4.04* files.

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CTM, along with the other deltas (the
starter delta file is the xEmpty file mentioned above).

When tracking -stable, you should be subscribed to this list,
freebsd-stable. That should be sufficient.
