I fixed the AFS bug which caused frobnitz to crash at shutdown time.
The problem was that shutdown_bufferpackage() was freeing Buffers and
then iterating through it.  I moved the call to osi_Free() so that
Buffers is freed after it's iterated through.

You can now reboot frobnitz without console access (this would have
been the case anyway with a kernel built without DDB, but it would
have taken it a while to dump and then fsck on startup).

I need to rebuild the installation and fix one small bug (root's shell
isn't correctly reset to /bin/athena/tcsh), and we should be ready for
production.
