	Well if you want the error message to go away you need to
	need to upgrade.  If you can live with the reduced
	functionality you don't need to.  This was all explained
	in the README.

	As for "I am running v 4.1.1 of FreeBSD and shouldn't need
	to uprev the OS yet.", you obviously have not dealt with
	the real world of running computer systems to know how
	absurd this statement is.

	If you really want to you can locate the fix, install it
	in your 4.1.1 source tree and rebuild the kernel.  I find
	cvsup, a couple of make commands and mergemaster much
	simpler however.
