For the record, the problem with turns out to be that the machine in
question has a 20GB AFS cache partition, and was using 7GB of it, which
apparently caused afsd to segfault partway through the cache sweep.
The machine is now configured to use a smaller amount of the partition
(with AFSADJUST=false in rc.conf to keep the init script from stomping
on it) and is running AFS happily.
This is a bug and a new one, and I'll look into it and report it
upstream, but for now, the answer to having especially large cache
partitions is "don't do that".
