Did things work on previous 1.3.x versions?

I have been running OpenAFS 1.3.80 on Solaris x86 for several months (83
days uptime) and have not noticed any problems.  This is a server though
and the client is no where near heavily utilized.  I do use the client
on the server to perform maintainance tasks like moving volumes around.

I am running this client as: " -stat 2000 -dcache 800 -daemons
3 -volumes 70 -memcache -afs"
What options are you using?

What configure options did you compile with?  I
use --enable-transarc-paths and --enable-fast-restart or something
similar and possibly enabled largefile support, not sure though.
