[OpenAFS] client crash on SuSE SLES 8

[Brian Jensen]

I'm having problems getting the 1.2.10 AFS client to run on SuSE SLES 8.
It builds OK, and the module seems to load fine, but the box crashes
immediately when I run afsd.  I've tried various incantations of afsd,
including -memcache, all with the same result.  Here's the error I'm
getting (current kernel is linux-2.4.19.SuSE-304, cache dir is ext2):

# /usr/vice/etc/afsd -nosettime -verbose
afsd: My home cell is 'rgplex1.event.ibm.com'
SScall(137, 28, 17)=0 afsd: Forking rx listener daemon.

...that is the last I hear from the box before it freezes.

I've seen various previous discussions of problems on SuSE (though not
specific to SLES), but I couldn't gather exactly what changes are needed.
My C programming skills are feeble, so I'm not sure what to try next.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
