I've put out Athena 9.4.12 to the dev cell.  It contains some
miscellaneous bugfixes, and new versions of Firefox, Mozilla, and
OpenAFS.  Based on internal testing, we have hopes that the new
version of OpenAFS (1.3.86) will fix the instability problems seen on
Linux during testing; please report any kernel oopses or
files-becoming-inaccessible that you see under 9.4.12.

Early machines can expect this patch release in a day or two, after
it's been sanity-checked in the dev cell.

(Earlier I sent mail to testers saying that Linux alpha release
machines would be asked to test a contingency release based on RHEL 3.
Because of the advances on the RHEL 4 front, I've decided it's more
important to test OpenAFS 1.3.86 than it is to test a contingency
release.  So until we see some evidence that 1.3.86 doesn't solve our
problems, the contingency release is on hold.)
