freebsd stable - Jun 2014 - freebsd-update to 9.2-RELEASE-p8 loop

Hi,

I used freebsd-update to update from 9.2-RELEASE-p7 to 9.2-RELEASE-p8
and rebooted.

After reboot, uname -a shows 9.2-RELEASE-p7, but I've seen this before
and consider it normal.

However, typing another 'freebsd-update fetch' gives:

pacija at server01:~ % sudo freebsd-update fetch
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 9.2-RELEASE from update6.freebsd.org...
done. Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

The following files will be updated as part of updating to
9.2-RELEASE-p8: /boot/kernel/linker.hints

And after 'freebsd-update install' and reboot this loops...
freebsd-update fetch again downloads linker.hints.

p8 did not touch the kernel, therefore there is no update in the uname output.

Why it again and again updates linker.hints, I don't know.
