Well, I don't find that very natural at all. There are million other
things that changed in the kernel between 2.0.x and 2.2.x. It's actually
much more probable that the problem is elsewhere. BUT, if you can show us
an Oops trace (symbols resolved) with something AX.25 related then we can
start debugging...

Installing the new lib/tools/apps is very simple and there are now even
RPMs available. Anyway if the problem turns out to be this (old utils)
then it still is a kernel bug. No usermode application should be able to
crash the kernel, even a faulty one!
