I recompiled my kernel tonight, with the intent of being able to
run my printer and use both a mouse and modem (done by adding 
com3).  The com stuff went fine, but lpt.c generated these errors:

cc -c -O -I. -I../.. -I../../sys -DERATO -Di386 -DSCSI -DKERNFS -DPCFS
-DUCONSOLE -DXSERVER -DTCP_COMPAT_42 -DCOMPAT43 -DNFSCLIENT -DIOSOFS
-DINET -DKERNEL -Di386 -DNPX ../../i386/isa/lpt.c

In file included from ../../sys/user.h:48, from ../../i386/isa/lpt.c:60
../../sys/kinfo_proc.h:50:field `kp_proc' has incomplete type
../../sys/kinfo_proc.h:54:fiend `kp_proc' has incomplete type

This is beyond my rudimentary (but growing) knowledge of C.  Any
and all help is appreciated.
