[OpenAFS-devel] OpenAFS 1.3.74 on AIX - authenticated access causes system dump on 32 bit kernel, cfgexport64 fails on 64 bit kernel

I applied those patches on the 1.3.74 release (after realizing that, for 
some odd reason, src/auth/ktc.c has a different version string in CVS 
than in 1.3.74, even though CVS claims the file hasn't changed since 
long before the release of 1.3.74 - it looks like the revision 1.16 
timestamp in the CVS log is plain wrong, and the revision sequence is 
corrupted) and compiled successfully.

For one thing, the patch to Makefile.in now prevents src/tsm41 and hence 
afs_dynamic_auth and afs_dynamic_kerbauth from being made, so that 
integrated login via /usr/lib/security/methods.cfg wouldn't be able to 
work anymore.

As an advantage of the patches, 'cfgexport64 -a export64.ext.nonfs' does 
now work when using the 64-bit kernel. Unfortunately, though, klog keeps 
dumping core and using a token from elsewhere keeps crashing the system. 
This happens for both the 32- and 64-bit kernels.

Is there any hope that I might be luckier with the upcoming 1.3.75 release?
