Should I gun this kernel?

[Joe Smith]

When I installed the serial-port patches sent by Sun, we started seeing a
bit of gibberish everytime sunview exits.  The odd thing is, this
gibberish appears in the input stream of the login shell, which echoes it
as "^[[193z".  I'm sure the problem depends on which kernel was booted.

Anyway, I'm not as interested in diagnosing the problem as I am in
deciding how dangerous it is to keep running this apparently-only-
slightly-demented kernel.  It seems to be stable for everything else, and
the patches really help.

Any suggestions?
