Ironically, I reproduced the same hang when I logged out on m66-080-2.
Based on my experience with file systems, this looks like openafs bug as
it is unable to close file handles on time -- and Ubuntu gives up and
closes network connection which causes crash.
Do we have crash dump capability on cluster machines?
