I'm afraid I can't think of anything more.  I have no idea what's going on
with this.  We've been running the 2.6.18-4-686 kernel for quite some time
at Stanford with various different versions of AFS and have never seen
this behavior.

The evidence certainly points at AFS causing this problem in some way, but
whatever the problem is, it doesn't seem to be as easy as something that
would always occur with that kernel version.  I don't know how to dig down
and try to figure out if it is.  :/  Asking on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailing list may be helpful; there are more people there with more
debugging experience than I have.
