[OpenAFS] Windows problem seeing files

I have 2 XP systems that run periodic batch jobs where they watch a 
directory for a certain file types, and when found process them.  They 
both use a simple reauth.pl perl script to maintain their tokens.  One 
is using client v1.3.63, the other is v1.3.66.

For some reason the system running v1.3.66 get's in a state (usually 
within 24 hours) where it can no longer see new files that appear in 
AFS.  It still has it's token, and can see and open existing files 
within AFS so the credentials must still be valid.

Restarting the perl script to obtain new tokens generally fixes the 
problem.  The box running v1.3.63 never has this issue and runs for 
months without trouble.

Is this a bug?  Any ideas how to get more useful information?

Thanks,
John
