Which UNIX pc kernel is better? 3.51 or 3.51a?

I frequently dial into ditka from a vt340 pretending to be a
vt100.  After running uEmacs, rn, Elm, or just about anything
else that does fancy-ish screen stuff, the 3.51a kernel goes
into a mode where all output looks sort of like it's got the
wrong baud rate (but not exactly).  The Hot-Line folks said
"Yup, it's hosed"; I switched back to the 3.51 kernel.

With 3.51 I was seeing a fair number of the hung window
manager problems until I got HDB and a TrailBlazer.  Not
sure which one did the trick, but I've only had one crash
of any kind since then, and that was a memory parity error.
