[OpenAFS] RedHat 7.1 and kernel 2.4.3-12

[Derek Atkins]

No problem.

I'm still working on the 2.4 supplied-module problem, but I think I
have a clue as to what needs to happen.  Unfortunately I have to work
around a bug in the Red Hat kernel sources, at least until they fix
it.

But I'm glad it worked for you.
