Sadly, RedHat is not very keen on updating their kernels. I did a quick 
experiment on Ubuntu box with kernel 4.4, and indeed it does not behave 
this strange way. So I'll write this off as a long fixed kernel bug, 
stick to auto-renicing in cron, and look forward to upgrading this 
CentOS machine some day. Thank you very much for your help.
