I still have a system which is panicing 2-3 time a day...  SUN says it is 
in the same place each time
from the coredump...   Here is the text from SUN about the core dump:

kernel memory allocator: buffer freed to wrong cache
buffer was allocated from kmem_alloc_16,
caller attempting free to kmem_alloc_8.
buffer=300092fd6c0 bufctl=3000bf703c0 cache: kmem_alloc_8
previous transaction on buffer 300092fd6c0:
thread=300094159e0 time=T-379.812186927 slab=30009a43880 cache: kmem_alloc_16
kmem_alloc+2c
afs_osi_Alloc+f8
afs_UFSHandleLink+f4
afs_readlink+1f4
gafs_readlink+38
pn_getsymlink+40
lookuppnvp+37c
lookuppn+128
lookupname+a4
stat32+14
panic[cpu2]/thread=300094146a0: kernel heap corruption detected


Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I've done and still am searching 
google and other sources to see
if anyone else has mentioned a problem similar to this... The system is 
running Sol 8 and I did up grade the
client to the 1.2.3 from whatever it was (loaded before I took over the 
system)

As I said, SUN insists it is a AFS client problem... I'm not totally 
convinced of this...

Thanks..

See-ya
