No, our version is not affected.  The bug was created in v3.0.28.

It doesn't matter.  'vzctl start' does it unconditionally.

I've checked the git version and found that these 2 hacks were removed in
v3.2.  The modern versions of vzctl are not affected.  However, vzctl >=
3.2 needs RHEL6 kernel (changelog explicitly says so), so RHEL5-based
distros might still use old vzctl.
