Hi... you are not alone

I tried to run the ADSM Linux client and it crashed the ADSM server
process instantly.  I think when trying to sign in.

Server: ADSM 3.1.2.1 on Solaris 2.6
Client: Linux 2.1.(something) kernel.  Distribution RedHat 5.2.

I have six other Linux clients on my system that are not causing any
problems at all, e.g.,

                     Platform: LINUX
               Client OS Level: Linux 2.0.30
                Client Version: Version 3, Release 1, Level 0.1

There another node running the 2.1.106 kernel (no idea which
distribution) and one with 2.1.131 (RedHat 5.2).

It is most mysterious.  Those nodes all existed before the upgrade to
3.1.2.1.  From memory I went 3.1.1.3 to 3.1.2.1.
