I was bitten by this (ELF binary type "0" not known) (two weeks ago),
running quickworld on world build after problem uncovered.

If first soloution was implemented, a reboot would cure problem
(new kernel was installed (according to build(7)) when problem popped up).

Not using quickworld until this point past could be other option.
Worth a note in UPDATING?
Or user will just search net and find soloution in our mail lists?
