Ok, I bet this is the kauth problem with args to ubik_CallIter which we 
changed in CVS recently,

And this is the large token support patch (which sets MAXKTCTICKETLEN to 
12000) overflowing something (change src/rxkad/rxkad.p.h to something 
smaller and recompile)

this i have no clue on; i have never had a 64 bit aix machine, ever.
