    With your help I realized today that vmware turned the abort flag on
    and didn't turn it off when the program exited. So now the problem is
    fixed in linux. Thanks a lot.

    Indeed, it wasn't a kernel's version problem.

    Printing under vmware still doesn't work, but it is a vmware issue,
    so my kernel problem is now over.

    Thanks for your time and help.
