Yup, it's changed. It looks like the flip buffer (tty.flip) has been

Just my luck. The last thing I need to install on the server and a
kernel update has broken the application. Now, which path to take to
get it working again...?
Quickest would probably be to grab a kernel just before they changed
tty_struct and compile that up. Or, you might be able to find an rpm
floating around, possibly even just take a FC4 kernel rpm. It *should*
install in parallel with the FC5 kernel.

Check with Digi?

It appears they are aware of the issue. Perhaps they have an updated
driver
available by now...
It appears the tty code changed in a recent 2.6 kernel.
