To: rel-eng@ATHENA.MIT.EDU, bugs@ATHENA.MIT.EDU,
To prevent panic on the PMAX, please change line 25 of
sys/afssyscalls.c from
static int UseOldAfsCalls = 0;
to
static int UseOldAfsCalls = 2;
There is a bug in the bad syscall recovery code in the kernel that
prevents correct behavior as AFS tries to use a nonexistant system call.
This bug only bites Dynamically loaded code.
Please change this magic constant.
Save a few microseconds on most applications.
Prevent panic from ATK applications.
