I have...2.6 has a memory leak in its routing code and I had boxes that
would hit this problem...finally fixed in 2.6.11 but it took quite a
long time (six months IIRC) before the network code guys figured it out.
Said fix was then backported to RHEL4 kernels.
Then there was this odd performance issue which I cannot remember with
RHEL4 kernels but was fixed in the RHEL4.4 update.
