Yes of course. We´re currently testing the kernel that can also be found at ftp.suse.com:/pub/people/mantel/linux-2.2.16.SuSE.tgz. I can also send you a patch that fixes the problem with innocent processes getting killed (btw. most of the pre17 kernels also had this problem).
Back to 2.2.14 and I better do not upgrade the zillion machines in the institute..
The funny thing is: We even test our kernels on some of our internal servers that are under quite some load. And according to Murphy this very problem didn´t occur on any of them. In fact, three servers here still run the buggy kernel. But not for very long any more ;)
