The kernel code (sys/solaris) is *not* the same in 1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2
and 971027. 971027 is the "beta copy of a new STREAMS module"
mentioned in README.ASUN. You install the STREAMS module from 971027
because it doesn't suffer the Solaris-specific problems that 1.4b2
(and as a result, 1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2) suffer. Note that 971027 isn't
normally used by anyone and isn't even in a "normal" netatalk ftp
directory.
Just a quick note here, the new STREAMS driver works like a charm for
me. Been up a couple days now and all is quiet in my syslog... That's
always a good thing.

In the distribution I retrieved, the option is not set. Here are the
relevant lines:
# add -DNEW_STREAMS_MODULE if you're using umich's beta module
DEFS= -I../../sys/solaris -D__svr4__ -DSOLARIS
So you need to add the required option on the DEFS= line, unless for
odd reasons, it is indeed already set in yours...
