I use kerneld at home and I haven't seen any problems like this.
However, I DON'T use kerneld at work on our server, but I have seen some
of the above problems (#2 & #4). I have seen the "Cannot load
interpreter" sometimes when trying to run programs, right before the
machine crashes. Sometimes, when I start getting that message, I will
get a segmentation fault trying to run a program instead.

I don't think these problems are caused by kerneld, since the system at
work doesn't have kerneld enabled.
