Hello,
we had the same problem with our dual Opteron system running
Kernel 2.4.22 and OpenAFS 1.2.10.
Andrej Filipcic reported that one should use the compiler option
"-mno-red-zone" for the libafs kernel module. 
We did so and the problems are gone! In addition if you add
"-fPIC" you can compile the PAM modules.
