If you're adventuresome, a patch has been posted which deals with
this issue. You need to apply it against the 1.4.4 source. It is
located here:
http://elektronkind.org/outbox/afs/openafs-s10u4-compat.patch
If you're adventuresome, but not THAT adventuresome, I have applied
the patch and built the binaries for sunx86_510, which you can get here:
http://www.msu.edu/~mk/openafs-1.4.4-sunx86_510-u4-fix.tar
I've been running it for about an hour without issue, but obviously
this is *brand new* so I wouldn't roll it into your live environment
until the patch gets accepted and a new version of OpenAFS is released.
