RedHat 7.2 Kernel inconsistencies...

I am seeing problems in RedHat kernels, where previously fixed bugs are
reappearing.  One annoying one is the KYLIX "file open" dialog lock up
problem that comes and goes.  

The original kernel that shipped with 7.2 worked fine.  Then after upgrading
the kernel, I encountered this lockup problem.  Falling back to the old
kernel got me going again.  

When the next kernel came out (sorry but I don't remember the version), it
worked fine (no lockup).  I assumed we were past the "problem".

Along comes the next kernel, and the lockup problem is back.  It seems that
every new kernel fixes or breaks the KYLIX "file open" dialog.

On Borland's site their solution is to use the older kernel, but I would
really like to have the latest kernel, and figure out what is causing the
problem.

I am suspecting that the kernels are being built by different people within
RedHat and the kernel options or libraries are not always consistent. This
also concerns me because other, previously fixed, bugs or vulnerabilities
may reappear?

Does anyone have any ideas about this problem?
