Don't play with the linux version while linux programs are running.
Changing the version from 2.4.x to 2.6.x and vice versa while a program
is running is not supported at all and known to cause havoc. Roman, do
we have the possibility to make an easy check in the sysctl handler if
a linux program is still running and return an error from the handler?
Did I forgot something which makes it impossible to switch when a
program was run under 2.6 and stopped?

Sean, can you rule out the possibility that a program was still running
under another version when you've seen the problems with uname?

Bye,
Alexander.
