[OpenAFS] Ubik problem

[Atro Tossavainen]

I recently changed one of our cell's db servers from IBM AFS on
Solaris 8 / SPARC to OpenAFS on Solaris 10 / x64.  The other one
remains on IBM AFS on Solaris 8 for what will hopefully be a very
short time until I migrate it over to S10x64 as well.

I've seen some strange database problems recently, and no wonder: the
OpenAFS server seems to be thinking its IP address is what it would be
if you reversed the octets.

The public db servers for biocenter.helsinki.fi are 128.214.58.174
and 128.214.88.114.  The former seems to have some strange ideas about
174.58.214.128 being somehow involved.  Please see udebug -long output
from both:
