Hi, all.
I saw a comment on LWN, that I quote:
"Posted Feb 23, 2015 10:28 UTC (Mon) by cesarb (subscriber, #6266)
Note that if you have a program which gets confused by the 3.x kernel version, and are using the UNAME26 personality to make it see 2.6.40+x instead of 3.x, the version number as seen by that program just jumped backwards to 2.6.40. See override_release() at kernel/sys.c."
I believe he is correct. Unfortunately I cannot work on a patch for it right now.
Marco
