Re: HEADS UP: you need to install a new kernel before an installworld.

Due to sigaction(2) syscall number changes, doing a 'make installworld'
without having booted a new kernel would be rather messy.  For example, if
you tried to reboot with the old kernel, /sbin/init and /bin/sh would get a
signal and abort. That would be bad.

Does this apply to ports as well? GNOME applications have started crashing a lot all of a sudden after updating my kernel (I haven't done 'installworld' yet). Do I need to rebuild all the GNOME stuff, or should I just back off to my previous kernel and wait a little while longer before doing another cvsup?
