avahi is part of the zeroconf set that started shipping with RHEL5 (and others).
It normally doesn't cause problems, just consumes some CPU time and
memory resources, mostly very
small.

We had some problems with this type of thing when we were setting
the gateway in the /etc/sysconfig/network file instead of the
interface we wanted to use
for the default route.

Also you can turn avahi-daemon off by
chkconfig avahi-daemon off
service avahi-daemon stop

Maybe.  Depends.  Major to Major upgrades like this work when you boot
to the target distro and do upgrade as the command line option.
5.2 to 5.5 would not have the problems.  4.6 to 5.2 would have been
the place that
probably broke it.
