Re: AFS 1.8.2 , bus error on FreeBSD

You may be able to run with this patch:

diff --git a/src/lwp/lwp.c b/src/lwp/lwp.c
index 496e773e00..0904ebff3e 100644
--- a/src/lwp/lwp.c
+++ b/src/lwp/lwp.c
@@ -353,6 +353,8 @@ LWP_CreateProcess(void *(*ep) (void *), int stacksize,
int priority, void *parm,
        stackptr = (char *)(8 * (((long)stackmemory + 7) / 8));
 #endif /* !AFS_DARWIN_ENV */
 #endif
+       /* Gross hack to change stack alignment. */
+       stackptr += 8;
        if (priority < 0 || priority >= MAX_PRIORITIES) {
            free(temp);
 #ifndef AFS_AIX32_ENV

If that doesn't work, I'd try compiling (everything) with gcc -O0 and see
if that helps -- the stack alignment only becomes an issue when some of the
newer fancy instructions are used.
