This problem has been observed on granola (which does not have my
updated libafs1_0A.o) and glacier (which does).

The symptoms I've observed are:

	1. (twice) the machine, running X, stops responding or
	   pinging and has to be power-cycled.  Once on glacier,
	   once on granola.
	2. (once) granola hangs in console mode, and does not
	   respond to ctrl-alt-esc or any other keys.  Yes, the
	   kernel has ddb.
	3. (once) A "cvs update" process goes into disk-wait
	   along with a shell that either was running it or
	   was run by it.  The process locations are:

		cvs	afs	f88c5870
		afsd	afs	f87e76ee
		afsd	afs	f87e76ee
		afsd	ttyout	f8759840
		afsd	afs	f87e76ee
		afsd	f87e8d7c	(yes, it looked like that)
		afsd	afs	f878f230

The first time this happened, on glacier, I was running "make
install" in /usr/src/games.  The second, third, and fourth times,
I was running "cvs update" on granola in /afs/sipb/user/ghudson/
pthreads.  A ktrace of the cvs process (currently in /u1/build/
afs-crash/ktrace.out) has the last few lines:

   263 cvs	CALL open(0xf7bfa840,0,0x1b6)
   263 cvs	NAMI "/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/pthreads/src/CVS/pthreads/pthreads/fs_sysv.c,v"
   263 cvs	RET  open 3
   263 cvs	CALL fstat(0x3,0xf7bfa6e0)
   263 cvs	RET fstat 0
   263 cvs	CALL read(0x3,0x5c000,0x2000)

I left a copy of netbsd-afs in /u1/build/afs-crash/netbsd-afs.
