cutter-john has the Applixware/Linux-AFS problem; somebody should put
the fixed version of Linux-AFS on CJ to make it easier to test.
Also, I'm not sure if this is related, but I managed to get Applixware
to segfault less than five minutes after starting it. (There was some
sort of flakiness with the save dialog box, which is why I suspect a
possible connection.)
Still, Applixware looks nice, and it would be a good idea to install
it on Athena if licensing isn't too expensive.
