	I can report that the patch does not help klog crashing an AIX 5.1-06 
system...  In nosing around the crash dump (I'm also unfamiliar with 
kernel debugging and AFS kernel internals), it does appear that it might 
be related. Here's a quick postmortem status:

CRASH INFORMATION:

More than that I don't have a clue.
