For hope that someone here might be able to assist me faster than
IBM can...
Also note that salvager is coredumping as well. The ramifications of
everything below is that 4 .backup volumes are in a completely hosed
state and I cannot get rid of them to create new ones. This means
those RWs have not been backed up in several days and I cannot even
move the RW volumes off of the server in question:

Subject: Cannot 'vos backup' certain vols, coredumps in AFS, etc
We're having some serious problems with several backup volumes on a
server of ours. It would seem that our volserver is coredumping
in a reproduceable fashion.
- The cell is running AFS 3.6.
- The server is running Solaris 2.7 in 32-bit mode.
- A 'bos salvage' has ALREADY been done on the volumes below that are
shown as not being able to be attached
