CVS commit by fitzhardinge: 

Add a --assume-2.4=yes|no CLO.  This overrides the normal check to see
if the kernel has enough capabilities to run in 2.6 mode (ie, futex,
the right kind of clone, correct signal handling properties), and always
uses 2.4 mode.  This will often not work on a 2.6 or RH9 2.4 kernel, but
it does help avoid a bug in the SuSE 8.2 (and possibly 9) kernels, which
look like they support enough to run in 2.6 mode, but get it wrong.
TODO: make the startup script/configure actually use this option.

Also some cleanup in printing debugging messages from vg_proxylwp.c, and
a small fix in the handling of ERESTARTSYS (assume that every syscall will
get interrupted from the outset, until it actually completes).
