2.2.0 oddities

[Florin Andrei]

        I just compiled kernel-2.2.0 on a stock Red Hat 5.2 Intel box and saw few
strange things:
        1. My soundcard (ESS688) stopped. After digging into the system, i saw that
the DMA moved from 0 to 1 !!! So, i modified it and now i'm able to play .au
files again. Even if it is strange, that's ok for now, but...
        2. I cannot use WinAmp anymore! It dies instantly, and reports "Whoops... You
caught a bug...", preceded by "socket: Too many open files".

        Any idea why #2 happens?
