Yes.
There is at least one OpenAFS person I know of working on looking at the
situation.
By all means contribute to helping debug this problem by debugging this
yourself (the new threads support in gdb in -current may help as well).
If you want to, in the mean time, setup a server on your 3.8 or
3.8-current systems, and you have the 3.7 libc installed from an upgrade
or whatever, you may add this package:
http://openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.0/openbsd-3.7/openafs-1.4.0-obsd37.tgz
.. even though it is a 3.7 package, it will still work, with one caveat.
I have made it known to the OpenAFS people that the naming of this file
is wrong, that it will not permit one to add the above url to 'pkg_add'
and have it work properly.
Until they rename the above to be 'openafs-1.4.0.tgz' you will have to
manually do the following:
$ftp \
http://openafs.org/dl/openafs/1.4.0/openbsd-3.7/openafs-1.4.0-obsd37.tgz
$ mv openafs-1.4.0-obsd37.tgz openafs-1.4.0.tgz
$ sudo pkg_add openafs-1.4.0.tgz
Thanks,

greetings,
i don't contribute to this mailing list on a regular basis, but i do certainly
listen. i saw on misc@openbsd.org that some other openbsd users have had
problems getting openafs 1.4.0 to work correctly on openbsd >=3.8. todd fries'
thought is that openbsd's new mmap malloc implementation (see
http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/359 and
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=112475373731469&w=2 for
additional info and the message below) is causing openafs to crash on a pretty
regular basis.
i can testify to this in some respects, as i've tried to compile and run openafs
1.3.87 on openbsd >=3.8 and gotten stuck when i couldn't get the volserver to
work correctly. i don't have access to the machine i was playing with this on
and i can provide more details/testing if anyone would consider it helpful, just
let me know.
the interesting part of mmap malloc is that is may allow for isolation of bugs
that would otherwise not be easily noticed or easily reproducible.
cheers,
jake

I have been working on it as time permits.
In the mean while I am using 3.7. :(

While this builds and packages fine on current, constant segfaults point to
mmap malloc finding openafs to be swiss cheese. Anyone up for debugging
this?
