You can read the bitkeeper logs at http://linux.bkbits.net
for the file in question.

Version numbers for kernel subsystems are often meaningless
because there are lots of changes without version number changes.

Don't use the 2.4.19 kernel, use the SLES8-SP3 kernel. It will likely
fix this, there was a fix in this area, which also got into 2.4 mainline. 
I don't know about RH kernels.
