System name:		myxomycete.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.1.10 (with mkserv)
Display type:		

Shell:			/bin/athena/bash
Window manager:		ctwm

What's wrong:
  FindBin.pm (called by spamassassin) complains:
    opendir(/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/c/f/cfox/perl/bin//../../../../../../..): Stale NFS file handle at /usr/athena/lib/perl5/5.6.1/FindBin.pm line 162
    opendir(/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/c/f/cfox/perl/bin//../../../../../../..): Stale NFS file handle at /usr/athena/lib/perl5/5.6.1/FindBin.pm line 163
  (that directory is /afs)

  Depending on where and how I cd to /afs, I see this:

    [cfox@myxomycete]cfox$ cd /afs
    [cfox@myxomycete]afs$ \ls
    ls: .: Stale NFS file handle

  If I cd /, and then 'ls afs' I see the normal behavior.  Likewise,
  I see the correct behavior if I cd / and ls or ls -l.  On one of my
  tries of cd'ing into /afs, I got it in a state where I saw the correct
  behavior, but not on the others.

  I can correctly cd into an afs cell, but 'echo *' in /afs returns '*'.

  I haven't been able to reproduce this elsewhere; I'll update my other
  linux box to 9.1.10 and try again when I get to campus.
