[OpenAFS-devel] OpenAFS-1.2.10 on hp_ux11i

[Douglas E. Engert]

Thanks, your suggesting appears to fix the problem. 

I added similiar code to the rx_kcommon.c. I am now trying the same code
on hp_ux110, hp_ux11i and ia64_hpux1122. If it works, I will be submitting
the changes.

The hp_ux11i system I was using has all the latest maintance which may have 
introduced the problem.
