Really, I'd like to try this, and Sven Oehme was even kind enough to send 
a machine... which I need to get out of customs, which I'm sure is going 
to be like getting teeth pulled.

You can try applying /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr/shadow/hzr-diff1 and 
hzr-diff2 in reverse, build, and see if it makes a difference. There is 
little of substance there. If it works, it should be easy to figure out 
why. If not, I don't know. Those are diffs of Hartmut's CVS tree against 
OpenAFS 1.3.77-ish CVS head.
