What were you trying to do?
  I had remained logged in for a long time, on this computer 
at work.  Long enough for my kerberos tickets to have
been expired for some time.  I was trying to save a file
in emacs.  

What's wrong:
  Although emacs reported no error, it did not save 
the file.  The only reason I noticed this was
that it didn't erase the ** found in the lower left
corner indicating that the file had changed.
Once I kinit'd and fsid -all, to reset my filesystem, I had
no further problem.

What should have happened:
   It should have given me an error indicating that
the file hadn't been saved.
