Yes, it should be. More novice users will see problems with tomcat and not know how to fix it. Even if they read the release notes and see "to avoid stability problems" they won't connect the two because the problem results in a freeze of some threads, not an outright crash.

Hi,
-1.  The ASSUME_KERNEL is a suggestion meant at more advanced users and
should not be imposed on everyone using RH9 by default.

The release notes say:

Redhat Linux 9.0 users should use the following setting to avoid
stability problems:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1


This simple shell script can tell you if you are running redhat 9: if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ] && grep -q Shrike /etc/redhat-release ;

then

               echo is redhat 9
       else
echo is not redhat 9
       fi


So the following should be added to catalina.sh:

if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ] && grep -q Shrike /etc/redhat-release ;

then

           export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
fi
