I am in the process of tracking down all differences between my good version and 1.3.77.
I am now not very distant from 1.3.77, and at least one problem seems
to be the new code in afs_pioctl.c for get and set tokens along with
the huge ticket size introduced for compatibilty with active directory.
Keeping the old ticket size and the old code for tokens in afs_pioctl.c
results in a fairly stable client. At least I can get a token, make clean in the openafs-tree and make dest without crashing the system.
This is certainly not enough testing for putting it into production,
but a hint where the problem may be hidden.

I am seeing that same problem with 1.3.77 on all AIX 4.3.3, AIX 5.1, and AIX 5.2, both 32 and 64 bit kernel. In contrast to previous versions of 1.3, I can at least load the kernel extensions now. Obtaining a token with 1.3.77 'klog' from a kaserver causes a core dump, and trying to use a token obtained with 1.2.10 'klog' results in a system crash.
Yes, I understand that 'klog' and 'kaserver' are considered more or less deprecated, and we are in fact planning to change to a Kerberos 5 setup, but this migration will take us quite some time to complete. Also, we will need continued interoperability with legacy IBM Transarc AFS cells for quite some time to come. So it would be great if 'kaserver' support wasn't silently dropped out of OpenAFS already at this point.
So far, I haven't been able to compile ANY version of OpenAFS client to work on AIX 5. The server code might be less problematic as it doesn't involve kernel extensions, but I am also still running 1.2.11 server binaries compiled on AIX 4.3.3 on my AIX 5.2 servers.
