Recently, our cell (catt.ncsu.edu) installed a copy of AFS 3.4 GA onto our
DECstations and our Sparc fileserver. Our clients are DECstation 2100s and
5000/{25,200}s. The 2100s have 24 Mb of RAM, and the 5000s have between 24-32
Mb of RAM. The server is a Sparc 5 with 32 Mb of memory; all of the AFS
server processes run on this system.
The Sparc seems to run fine with AFS 3.4 GA + Solaris 2.4. Our AFS clients
are not faring so well. The one AFS 3.4 ULTRIX client we are running, a
DECstation 5000/200, is crashing intermittently with this message:

Something similar happened with our ULTRIX systems under 3.4 beta.
Another interesting note: we've noticed that some files are getting
corrupted in the cache.
Please send possible solutions, if any. If there are no immediate solutions,
then we will be regressing back to AFS 3.3a for ULTRIX.
