I think so. I'm running 2.6.0 vanilla + Ingo's combo -A2 on my host, with 2.4.23 UMLs. I tried to do something in the uml involving lots of tmpfs usage, and the host system crashed. This was just before I went away for the holiday; I'm only now catching up. I haven't re-tested with any of the newer 2.6 skas patches.
