bad inode number: 0 / xfs_syscall returns error: 0

[Chris Chiappa]

Trying to get Arla running on a fairly generic Redhat 5.2 box, kernel
2.1.130(non-SMP), and I'm having a problem that doesn't seem to be mentioned
anywhere in the arla-drinkers archive.  Kernel and Arla are both built with
gcc 2.7.2.3, arlad -t works fine, I can walk afs trees etc just fine. But if
I do an insmod xfs.o, run arlad and then 'mount -t xfs arla /afs', any
operations on /afs simply cause the kernel to spit out the attached error
messages(and many more, but they're all essentially similar).  Any ideas?
Only flags on the configure line are --prefix=/opt/arla and
--with-kerberos=/usr/local .  I don't think I'm doing anything particularly
stupid, but it's always a possibility.  The behavior is in both Arla 0.15
and 0.16, haven't tried others.

If I enable debugging what I see if a whole slew of these errors:
