	There was a discussion on another list about threading and the
kernel name.  Something about if the kernel name ends in .nptl then
it operates in a different mode with regards to threading.  Some sort
of RedHat specific magic cookie in the name, I guess.

	I haven't tried to run a stock kernel on Fedora Core 1 or 2
at this time.  I'll see if I can find where that thread was being
discussed.  That's the only clues I've got on this one.  :-/
