Issuing the commands `mount' or `mount -V' will result in a segmentation
fault under Ultrix v4 systems (perhaps earlier releases also) running
AFS 3.1
The following patches will fix the problem. You'll need an Ultrix source
kit to compile mount.c. You will have to alter this if you have chosen a
value other than 8 for GT_AFS.
These patches are designed for systems with AFS compiled into the kernel
and have not been tested with dkload.
A patched binary image is available as
'/afs/iastate.edu/public/martin/mount.pmax_ul4'.

The above change will take care of the seg faults by providing a value
for gt_names[GT_AFS].

This if statement will insure that no attempt is made to call the
non-existant program afs_mount for mount info.
