[OpenAFS-devel] malloc failed to alloc enough memory translating ids

Derrick,
      I tried copying the binaries from the site over, and had the same
problem with them, but then I may have forgot something copying.  Which
files do I need to put where?  What was the compiler issue?  I'm using the
visual age c compiler (xlc), should I try again with gcc or something?

Thanks,
Scott Baker

can you try the binaries we distribute? if you don't have this problem,
it's probably going to be a compiler problem, which i think was discussed
here about 2.5 months ago
