This is almost certainly a bug in our AFS libraries.
What's probably happening here is an lseek() or ftruncate() call with
an offset argument being passed as a 32-bit number (and no prototype
to correct it). NetBSD uses 64-bit file offsets, so this could show
up as a huge offset in some cases.
A prime candidate seems to be the duplicated Kerberos library code in
auth/ktc.c. I've added a few off_t casts to that code, and am doing a
built now. I can stash the resulting libafs somewhere and tell you
where to pick it up.
