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.
