Thanks Marc,
           I applied all the above, and can indeed 'ls' afs areas, but I 
realised klog doesn't work.
I get a segmentation fault in:
 afs_int32 savecontext(ep, savearea, sp)

at:
case 1:
  (*EP) ();

ep is pointing to Create_Process_Part2, which seems legal,
but the programme segfaults rather than trying to run EP.
   Any ideas on that one?
