I've patched the kernel on cutter-john to include Ted's and Erik's
proposed fixes for the Linux-AFS Cache Corruption problem.  The new
kernel is currently running (The old one can be booted by linux-bak).
This new kernel should prevent the AFS cache corruption problem, and
it should send a syslog notice whenever it finds itself in a state
that might have caused cache corruption.

If anyone notices any AFS cache corruption on cutter-john, please send
mail to linux-dev@mit.edu.
