Good news for x86_64 systems

After kernel 1275 fixed the "constant" rebooting problem on x86_64 system, I 
was eager to see how soon the other major problem could be fixed -- segfault 
when running 32 bit applications.

Since rawhide had not been updated yet, I thought I would look to see if davej 
had any new kernel on people.redhat.com ... sure enough, there was kernel 
1276.

After downloading, I looked at the change log and it said that a fix for 32 
bit applications was included.  After installation and reboot I tested .. 32 
bit applications now work (no segfault).

This also means that vmware-config.pl works again for those interested.
