That=B4s kinda problematic. I really don=B4t know which one I installed.
I assume the .msi, but it could also be the .exe - sorry.

Our cell was in the cellservdb file before remove/install OpenAFS.
I think the install overwrote the CellServDB file.

But I remember that some kind of memory leak was closed in OpenAFS from
