Well, I was wrong anyway, but I guess no one ever figured it out
(including me)

vos was patched:
http://www.openafs.org/cgi-bin/wdelta/largefile-dump-support-20020118

but the same changes don't appear to have happened to butc.

we're dangerously close to 1.2.10 but i guess if someone will promise to
try the changes in a timely manner i'll try to bang them out tonight or
tomorrow.
