IMPORTANT
=========

At this time MaxDB's threading is not compatible with the default
threading in Linux 2.6 kernels (and in Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels
shipped with RH9) on _i386_ architectures. Most of the MaxDB
applications and tools will crash on startup.

To be able to run MaxDB on i386, you have to set to set the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
environment variable to 2.4.1. You _must_ not do this on other
architectures as MaxDB is already using the new NPTL threading.

For bash this would look like this:

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1

All init-scripts will export this automatically.
