I saw email about a panic problem and remedy in the openafs-devel
list, but I've not yet read the thread carefully. I believe it's
relevant, and Jeff Altman, when I mentioned we had a panic heisenbug
said to try 1.4.3-rc2 when it is released.
I'll update release-team when I've read the thread carefully.
