I'm pretty sure that i have a current module; i can see the AFSOP_BASIC_I=
NIT=20
in afs_call.c and 1.2.9a is the only version i've used on this system. I =
put=20

        if(error =3D=3D -1)
        {
                perror("syscall()");
        }
=20
after the syscall() in afsd.c. it seems that every syscall() returns -1. =
 I=20
saw some warnings about 'major' and 'minor' being redefined when the modu=
le=20
was built.  I commented out the definitions in the offending header file=20
(/usr/src/linux/include/linux/kdev_t.h) so now it looks like this:

/* 2.5.x compatibility */
//#define mk_kdev(a,b)    MKDEV(a,b)
//#define major(d)        MAJOR(d)
//#define minor(d)        MINOR(d)
//#define kdev_same(a,b)  ((a) =3D=3D (b))
//#define kdev_none(d)    (!(d))
//#define kdev_val(d)     ((unsigned int)(d))
//#define val_to_kdev(d)  ((kdev_t)(d))

recompiled (no warnings), tried the new module, but had the same problem.=
  How=20
else could the module have been miscompiled?

Thanks.
