[OpenAFS] ptserver seqfault on amd64

I have a amd64 system running Debian Sarge (from amd64.debian.net, not 
the ia32 one) and I've installed and configured openafs 1.3.81 (server 
and client) on this machine. The kernel is the stock amd64-k8 debian 
package, 2.6.8-11. Module was built using module-assistant. Kernel and 
module built using gcc-3.4.

When I start the client, if hangs during the mount system call, and the 
ptserver crashes (over and over as it is restarted):

ptserver[3028]: segfault at 00000000959bec30 rip 0000002a957fec00 rsp 
0000002a95644c20 error 4
ptserver[3030]: segfault at 00000000959bec30 rip 0000002a957fec00 rsp 
0000002a95644c20 error 4
ptserver[3031]: segfault at 00000000959bec30 rip 0000002a957fec00 rsp 
0000002a95644c20 error 4

I've used strace on the server and it seems to crash just after reading 
prdb.DB0. pt_util seems to work fine to display the information in this 
file (that is what's in there, I think).

I used AFS years ago back in university, but this is my first experience 
trying to setup a server. I'm really looking forward to using it for my 
own needs, and appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,
Dave
