Personally I consider bad practice to set those variables with 10g products,
especially the application server since, in this way, it is going to use the
old libthread libraries.

However from suse 10.1 on LD_ASSUME_KERNEL shouldn't be set because the old
glibc is not there anymore (so no back-compatibility).

LD_PRELOAD should be used only with orarun (otherwise you don't have the
library libInternalSymbols.so).
The old openSUSE never had orarun since it is not GPL (Arun, is it changed?)
so the OP should avoid LD_PRELOAD (at least if he is not installed orarun on
openSUSE).
