here's what i sent to the list a while ago. if you're using a the
threaded version of 5.005_02, this should fix your problem. if not, then
someone should take a closer look at the problem -- i'm sure it's a
conflict between threads in AFS and solaris threads (which perl uses).

I said:
after analyzing core dumps and other atrocities, i've found a simple
solution to this problem. first of all, i'm assuming this problem only
occurs when using a threaded perl. secondly, i haven't tested the
workaround thoroughly enough to say that it doesn't break anything else.
# the order of these statements is important!
use AFS;
use Thread;
that's it. instantly, all my ptserver code ran flawlessly. if anyone has
scripts that rely on other parts of the AFS module, i'd be interested to
know if everything else still works.
i'd also like to find a way to integrate this into AFS.pm so it's
transparent to script writers, but i haven't had any luck so far...
btw, this works with 3.4a-build 5.52 and later. i haven't tested it with
anything earlier.
