Hmm.  By "doesn't work right", are you referring to the build or the
operation of AFS using the built module?  Once I stuck a -DAFS_SMP in
CFLAGS in the Makefile (and hand-applied the failed patches), it built
without any complaints, loaded and ran.

I haven't severely stress-tested it yet, but this box locked up in seconds
with the 1.03 release.  To even be up this long is a distinct improvement.

What type of misbehavior should I be on the lookout for?
