We have it set on Fedora Core 1 systems (and equivalent vintage RHEL)
because RedHat backported the 2.6 kernel threads to their 2.4
kernel, and loads of things broke (oracle 9i, java 1.3 etc) so
we had LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.4.1 set to force the old
(i.e. normal for a 2.4 kernel) behavior.

If you are running asterisk on a stable 2.6 kernel you
shouldn't set it.

By the way, the

cat /proc/*asterisk proc number*/environ | strings | grep  
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

only works if you are root, or whoever asterisk is running as. It  
gives an empty result if
it has not got permission to read.
