OK, so it's almost certainly got nothing whatsoever to do with the kernel.
Seems like the new version of mountd wants slightly different 
configuration files, and Redhat stuffed up the transition.
Better go and add those two explicit lines that Matt mentioned, they are
repeated about 3 times in the doco I have here. I don't think mountd is
globbing properly, for reasons unknown. Maybe it's not meant to. Either
way it appears that you'll need those mountd specific lines in your
hosts.allow.
