Thank you. I have only one "concern", this change in lwp.h:
+
+ /*
+  * On ia64 where the ucontext is used, it can be an extra 48K
+  * Need to account for this.  There might be two of these on the
+  * stack too. This needs to be checked.
+  */
+ #if defined(USE_UCONTEXT) && defined(HAVE_UCONTEXT_H)
+ #define AFS_LWP_MINSTACKSIZE  (288 * 1024)
+ #else
  #if defined(AFS_LINUX22_ENV)
  #define AFS_LWP_MINSTACKSIZE  (192 * 1024)
  #else
  #define AFS_LWP_MINSTACKSIZE  (48 * 1024)
+ #endif
  #endif

Have you observed a problem for anything other than HP-UX? If not, why
increase the minimum stack size elsewhere? I guess that's really only ia64
Linux, and now Linux on the Opteron, and it's probably not worth worrying
about.

Excellent. It's sort of unfortunate that 1.2.10 won't support any BSDs,
but soon, at least, we will have releases for those also. All that's left
that isn't "ready" unix-wise these days is Tru64 5.1 and AIX 5+. I guess
Tru64's days are numbered, but it would be nice just the same.
