I missed that you were running 9atom. Using old binaries to copy the new kernel 
to /n/9fat and rebooting means now you're running the bell labs kernel. I don't 
know how different the two kernels are but if you want to continue running 
9atom everything, you may have to undo nsec related changes in the userland.

More generally, as this nsec change demonstrates, if you rely on sources over 
which you have no control & you also have local changes, you pretty much have 
to treat the external sources as a "vendor branch" and do a careful merge to 
avoid such surprises.
