The following is my most recent email message to someone who was
helping me with a very odd uname issue. I hope that this reporting of the
"final" events (oh-god-pleaselet-this-be-done-and-over-with) helps someone
else some day. The offer that I make at the end of my message is genuine.

Try a rm -rf /usr/src/* and then rebuild using the config method from
/usr/src/sys/i386/conf with make depend; make; make install after
configuring.

Well, lots of stuff comes out. The interesting parts appear to
be:
kern.osrelease: 4.9-PRERELEASE
kern.osrevision: 199506
kern.version: FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #9: Tue Aug 26 14:01:09 EDT 2003

Yes. I followed the directions in the /usr/src/UPDATING file that
I have followed at least 8 times previously and successfully on this very
same server over the last few years.
cvsup -g -L 2 st
Did you do a make kernel KERNCONF=YOURKERNELFILE, too?
I'm only asking because you mentioned make world, and while that rebuilds the
OS, it doesn't make (or install) the kernel.
I have to ask simple questions; the problem, if not simple, is flat-out weird.

I was previously running 4.9-PRERELEASE. I used cvsup to download
new source code and compile the OS, as I've done many times over the years
that I've used FreeBSD. Now, uname -a will show me 4.9-PRERELEASE and Aug
26, 2003 instead of 4.9-RELEASE or 4.9-STABLE and any of the December
