Has anyone taken a look at the large number of pointer-aliasing bugs
in the current codebase?  GCC emits a warning for these (if you
configure OpenAFS with --enable-warnings), and it does not appear that
anything is compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing to disable the
optimizations that causes these bugs to be noticeable, unless
compiling for Linux.
