I upgraded my server (not client) versions of AFS to 3.2b on 8/18.

On 8/21 one of my servers crashed.

On 8/23 a different one of my servers crashed.

The servers are IBM RS6000 model 530 running AIX 3.2.2 + lots of additional
PTFs.

The LED sequence was:
        flashing 888
        102
        300     "data storage interrupt: processor type"
        0c4     "dump unsuccessful"

Since this happened on two different servers it is unlikely to be a hardware
failure.

Since it happened within a week of installing AFS 3.2b, it is likely to be
a problem with 3.2b.

Transarc tells me they are using AFS 3.2b on IBM RS6000 servers running
AIX 3.2.3 and 3.2.4.  Perhaps AFS 3.2b is incompatible with versions of AIX
lower than 3.2.3.

I am increasing the size of my dump partitions so that I can obtain a valid
dump the next time this happens.
