LD_ASSUME_KERNEL is a temporary solution
that was intended to be removed as soon as
the proper fix is found.
Unfortunately the side-effect is that people
are no longer interested in testing the potential
fixes - they are quite fine with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
and I don't see how this can be resolved without
backing out the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL thing but this
is also not good before there is a tested fix:(

Is there any chance for ALTLinux to get upgraded
to NPTL so that you can test the patches?

The potential fix I am talking about is attached.
If anyone have a broken DPMI due to NPTL without
an LD_ASSUME_KERNEL thing, please test.
