>Description:
When compiled for Linux, the Glibc version released with Debian "squeeze" requires Linux 2.6.18 or later. The one currently in yet-to-be-released "wheezy" requires Linux 2.6.26 or later.

If the running kernel identifies itself as older than the required version, all programs refuse to run with "FATAL: kernel too old" message.

Please consider bumping to a more recent version.  Even if not all new features are supported, limited support is much better than not being able to run the binaries at all.

I've succesfully tested this patch with Debian "squeeze" environment.
