Well, the patches there are in the tree (release 1.4.10, I think?); at
least, the 1.4 backports of them which are not the same as most of the
patches in that ticket. None of the patches in there touch the salvager,
as far as I can see, so your issue here is effectively new.

You should only need to change the declaration of 'vid' to be afs_uint32
without any other patches, to get it to work for now. I'll get something
a little more consistent with the rest of the tree, but if you want it
to just be able to go right now, that should do it.
