1.5W is a release of -current.  While 1.5.1 is a upgrade from 1.5.
So you are running an "old" kernel via 1.5.1 with a new userland (-current).

Trust me, 1.5.1 is *not* an upgrade to -current (e.g. 1.5W).

Apologies this is confusing... the lettered 1.5 versions are branches
of -current as I understand the naming scheme.
