There seems to be a bug (or missing thing) in the afs port...
when you do a setpag, it gives you two bogus groups (this is right...)
but if you do a setgroup, it will destroy those bogus entries (which are
basically your pag)...
I am told that afs ports are supposed to intercept the setgroups call
and check the first 2 groups to see if they are a PAG...(and if they are
keep them accross setgroups and such...)
Potentially this can be dealt with in user code...but you aren't supposed to
need to...(also, similarly I guess you could just dump patchs in the kernel
seperate from the afs loadable module, but that is non-ideal...)
P.S. hopefully you can just steal the aprox. code from another port...
