AFS: no bugs, for me.

I noticed some murmurings on -c sipb, talking about bugs in
linux-afs. People seem to still be having afs cache problems,
so I thought I'd mention that I _haven't_ seen any corruption,
ever since installing a late beta version of Redhat-Athena 4.2.
(Is it going to be released soon?)
My machine might differ from others in that it has the
/usr/athena files stored locally, rather than in AFS, but
it's been going for one and a half months now without troubles,
so I'd hope that if bugs were still around, I'd have seen them.
Anyway, if you want to poke around at things, feel free to log
into well.mit.edu and take a look. (I'm not sure what you might
want to look at.)
Aaron sent a zephyr to -c sipb with the output of "rpm -qi afs"
on his machine; I've included my machine's output below.
