For a very long time (7.1 to 7.6.0?), this was in the release notes. I don't 
see it in 7.6.3. Tim/others, can you confirm that this has finally been fixed? 

Running the Linux 64-bit package with the 2.6.x kernel may result in crashes 
LGTsc06585 
A compatibility issue with libc and pthreads libraries on Linux 2.6 
kernel-based 
environments causes problems when running the 64-bit package for Linux on 
platforms built on the 2.6.x kernel (for example, RedHat AS 4 and SuSE SLES 9). 
Although operation may be normal at first, continued use of the 64-bit package 
with a 2.6.x kernel may result in crashes of various programs. 
Use the 32-bit package when running with a 2.6.x kernel. Running a 32-bit 
package 
instead of the 64-bit package should have no operational impact. The 64-bit 
package can still be used for kernel version 2.4 Linux variants such as RedHat 
AS 3 
and SuSE SLES 8.
