Rainer,

The first thing to note is that the kernel release u think u have is not 
what Perl is reporting...  (2.0.34 as opposed to 2.2.5)

Would recommend u make Perl (and Sybperl) again on the new kernel, if 
possible.  If u have already done this (which irt doesn't look like u have, 
based on the date), and Perl -V still registers 2.0.34, maybe u sure the 
manual kernel upgrade went awry?  Just a thought.

Colm
