attach dumped core on a DECstation dialup because the primary copy of
the SIPB locker was down. It died in line 88 of afs.c:
(void) strcpy(buf, path_canon(buf));
path_canon() can return NULL. This code is broken.
I think it's time to say "I told you so". This bug would not exist, and
several user-years of time would not have been wasted waiting for aklog, had
people listened to me 3 years ago when they replaced my fast, working code
with the present mess.
