OpenAFS currently uses the Linux numbering scheme in which odd minor
releases are unstable and even minor releases are stable.  Therefore,
1.4.0 is the new stable branch and after 1.4.0 is announced a 1.5.0
unstable series will begin.

I can't answer your linux question but I can point out that 1.4.0-rc8
supercedes 1.3.87 by nine releases.   You should be using 1.4.0-rc8 and
not 1.3.87 for any work you are currently doing.
