Ah! This would be the problem. The preferred versions of netatalk for
Solaris are:
netatalk-971027 from UMich
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1 from asun
Either can be considered known-good stable on Solaris, as both are in
common use on large numbers of Solaris boxen, most importantly, by
the majority of the Solaris-based participants of this mailing list.
971027 can be gotten from the *parent* directory of UMich's ftp
server. +asun can be gotten from ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun/.
Both incorporate important fixes to the kernel module which, when left
unfixed in 1.3.3 or 1.4b2, cause kernel panics.
