After being almost completely unresponsive for about an hour tonight, we
were forced to reboot Linerva. It was back up at approximately 6:20 PM.

We believe that the hang was caused by a deadlock in OpenAFS. We have
upgraded linerva to use OpenAFS 1.4.8, and it is our hope that this will
help prevent this same problem from occurring in the future.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
