Both your binaries and kernel need to be of the same vintage. Sometimes
you can get away with them being a few days, or even a week or two
different, it'll work just as long as the libkvm stuff hasn't changed in
the mean time.
Grabbing the latest snapshot from ftp.netbsd.org is an easy way to fix it,
just be carefull when updating /etc. You don't want to wipe your passwd
file and things like that.
