Subject: 2.6.25 Kernel - Problems with capabilities

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help with a capability problem 
I've noticed with .25 My ntp daemon will no longer run as any non-root 
user, and after some investigation it seems that calls to prctl() are 
failing.

CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES=y , so this should work?

System is 32 bit x86 based on a venerable SuSE 9.1 distro.

Full .config is attached.

Thanks
David
