As you can see, cp failed, but etcupdate continued without any sign of
error.
cp failed because I did installkernel & installworld without rebooting.
I have never run into a problem like this in the past, but I understand
the reason - running the new 13.2 binary "cp" on an older 12.3 kernel is
not supported.
However, there is a bug in etcupdate which causes it to continue
silently instead of stopping when the first copy fails.
This function needs to check the return status of cp and not blindly
return 0 even if the copy failed. In other words, the function
install_new() does not do what the comment says. This needs to be fixed.
