It tells libc that this application is 'broken' and did things it wasn't
supposed to and to please emmulate the 'broken' behaviour this
application relies on.
Doing a search for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and quake, I found a message
suggesting doing:
bash# LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 quake3program
Apparently it doesn't get along with native posix threads.
Of course if it is released as open source by now, then you could
probably just recompile it and solve the problem that way. Or fix it
and recompile it if it really was a bug in the code.
