    I've been in the process of updating my i386 machine to -current, it
has been the late Sept snapshot with /usr/local from May.  So far I've
recompiled the libraries and gnu and reinstalled them after building a
new kernel.  Something seems to be causing AFS to behave VERY strangely.
 If I try to do tcsh tab-completion on an AFS directory, tcsh seg faults
and dies.  If I do an ls on an AFS directory, I get something like this:

(Note that the filesizes and dates are both very wrong)  I have updated
ls to make sure it wasn't a problem with the old binary.

    Has anybody else seen similar problems?  I'm not sure if this is
i386-specific or not.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.
