No. As far as I can tell, the problems are with netatalk itself. Our
kernel code is pretty much the same as the FreeBSD code, and they've
been using Netatalk for over six months. Thus if the speed bug were
in the kernel, we'd have seen the fix by now.

I've tried off and on for a while to find out what's up. I've not
succeded. Also, netatalk is trying to get out of beta Real Soon Now. I'm
hoping that the needed fixes are in there. The umich folks aren't
responding to email much at the moment, and the netatalk list they have is
moderated.

Christos found two naughty bugs which had been lingering in the netatalk
code. I'll try to get patches up soon.

Take care,

Bill
