This morning Brian suspected that the "lost contact messages" were
due to the file server process not running on the afs database
servers.
Richard looked into this, and Transarc confirmed the bug.
We believe the problem has been fixed. If there are any "lost contact"
messages reported please let us know by sending mail to <op@mit.edu>
Thanks!

Subject: AFS: lost contact with volume location server ...
From: "Richard Basch" <basch@MIT.EDU>
There is a bug with AFS 3.2 clients and some other pre-3.3 clients that
was causing the symptoms we have been seeing. It appears that a
fileserver process is required on all the database servers. I have
confirmed that Transarc knew about this bug (and fixed it in AFS 3.3).
