Perhaps it is of interest that I have a similar problem  without any
vpn on my local network :(. I start the 1.3.77 or the cvs-server with
1.3.77 client (or cvs client) and everything works, when copying many
files (my audio path for example) or starting KDE with a Homedir
inside afs the client hangs...
