[OpenAFS] Ubuntu 8.10 and OpenAFS 1.4.8 not playing nicely

[Jeff Blaine]

A few things, but mainly of our importance, the first item.

This is a from-source build of OpenAFS 1.4.8 on an Ubuntu
8.10 box (i686).

Linux oolong 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 
GNU/Linux

./configure --enable-transarc-paths --disable-afsdb

All default AFS config except:
ENABLE_AFSDB=off
ENABLE_DYNROOT=off

AFS doesn't work.  It starts.  It runs.  It falls on its
face mostly.  All other network-based functionality works
fine.
