this setting doesnt make any sense.. the osrelease should be set to the version
of linux kernel you want to emulate. ie. 2.4.2 or 2.6.16 etc.

I think that if you set it to 6.1 nothing happens because libc (libc reads this
and then mangles its internals accordingly) doesnt understand this and choses
the safest values...
