Yes you are mistaken.  I always resort to to the kernel extensions of Hartmut 
from his 15.03.04  built. No extensions of 1.3.x worked for me so far.  

1.3.65 server worked for me except probably the salvager. I simply forgot to 
test it because the last three years I never had to salvage any volume.  At 
the moment I am running an 1.3.77 server in production with fileserver and 
volserver taken from 1.3.65. The salvager from 1.3.77  does not work. It 
crashes. The salvager from 1.3.65 doesn't work either. It stops with the 
following error message:
