um, this should only be happening in a development(2.1.x) kernel. With other
unices, the developement cycle might be hidden, so these probs won't surface
for outside developers. If the kernel aglorithyms/interfaces change for a
stable(2.0.x) kernel, then that is wrong, and they have reason to complain.
