I just updated the package to 1.6.0. Would you please give that a try?
It looks like 1.6.1 will be out in a couple of weeks, too. If there is
a regression with NetBSD-alpha vs. OS9.1 that persists with the
current version, you might also bring that up with the netatalk people
on one of the forums or mailing lists, or file a bug report.

I did find a report of a problem with large directories with 1.5.1 on
RedHat 8.0, but with no follow-up. That may (or may not) have been
fixed by now.
