I noticed this because suddenly FC4 is using UID-based PAGs.  We're
using OpenAFAS 1.4.0.  Is this a known problem?

Has this problem ever been resolved? I just tried openafs-1.4.1-rc9 and it looks like it's still there.

If this is the bit where the syscall table has been moved into the .rodata section, the resolution is to lose. Maybe someday we will get to use kernel keyrings. We could actually do that today if we were willing to break backward compatibility with every userland tool that did pags that was compiled before today. For many sites this would simply be a different form of sadness.
