As a general rule, if Microsoft releases a new version of a DLL, and lists
it as being appropriate for your OS, and sets it out for _general_ use, then
updating is often a good idea. However, here's what I noticed about what you
have above.
The one you are using now is the original for Win98, and the new one is
Win98SE. The difference between these two OS is minimal, except specific
updates and Internet Connection Sharing. Given that these two files are
exactly the same size, I'll lay long odds that they are exactly the same
file.
Since Microsoft does not appear to have a kernel32.dll update for Win98, I
wouldn't recommend installing the new one without more reason than this.
