Subject: [netatalk-admins] Netatalk crashed my machine?

Hello!
I'm new to this list, although I'm not to netalk-- I have been running
an older version for over a year with few complaints. Tonight I upgraded
to netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3 and ran into some problems, which I'm hoping
to get some help with. I did not find a solution on an available
webpage, and would appreciate a pointer if there is one published that I
missed.
Synopsis of problem:
The installation went fine, and I could successfully connect to the
file server as usual. However, now when some files are copied from the
server, (FreeBSD 2.2.8) to my Mac (G3 with MacOS 8.6), I get a Mac
system error "-50", which the Mac Error database describes as "Error in
user parameter list". Each time this happens, there is a corresponding
entry in the system log, like this:
Sep 2 19:57:53 nollie afpd[363]: afp_openfork: ad_open: Input/output
error
How can I prevent this from happening?
Related informatin and Hypothesis:
I made sure my AppleVolumes file were in the right place and appeared
to un-funky (below for reference). I tried a number of difference little
tweaks and would then restart the servers (kill -9 all the processes,
delete the atalkd.conf file and then use the startup script found rc.atalk).
On one of these restarts, the server hung entirely and hand to be
rebooted (which is very rare as those who use similiar flavors of unix
know). Here were the last entries in the log file prior to reboot:
Sep 2 19:27:16 nollie papd[23091]: restart (1.4b2+asun2.1.3)
Sep 2 19:27:24 nollie papd[23091]: can't register nollie:LaserWriter@*
Sep 2 19:27:26 nollie afpd[23093]: Can't register nollie:AFPServer@*
Sep 2 19:28:09 nollie afpd[23097]: afp_openfork: ad_open: Input/output error
Sep 2 19:52:55 nollie /kernel: Copyright (c) 1992-1998 FreeBSD Inc
Would it be relevent that I compiled netatalk to work with tcp
wrappers, but have not yet made entries for the binaries in
/etc/inetd.conf ?
Any help given will be much appreciated!
