need to be recompiled.".
One wonders where you got this impression, because I have
always had pretty much the opposite - or at least the "correct
operation where running world not matched to running kernel is
presumed unlikely until proven otherwise" version.
(Yes, it often works ... except when it doesn't.)
generally we support an older world with a newer kernel.
We actually rely on that during upgrade..
The threading library can have some dependencies, but in this case I
think it was just that a bug was fixed in the userland library.
