Not sure how to read below, which according to the 7.4sp2 release notes is 
still a problem. Have others on this experienced the mentioned crashes and/or 
learned more details?

All else being equal, I would strongly prefer to upgrade my old 7.2.2/RHEL3 
i386 server to 7.4.2/RHEL5 x86_64. It seems that I will want to run the 32-bit 
rather than 64-bit version of the NetWorker binaries, but as long as I have the 
right compatibility libraries, that should be fine, right?

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.
