Windows 7 (32-bit)
All updates prior to 4/27/2010
Kfw-3-2-2
Openafs-en_US-1-5-7400

Installing Windows update KB980408 (published yesterday, 4/27/2010) causes =
several unexpected error dialogs related to acquiring kerberos credentials.

If the error dialogs are ignored, OpenAFS seems to work (*very* brief testi=
ng).

I believe the problem will trigger an assert in a debug version of OpenAFS =
but I haven't proved that yet. (I got asserts while dealing with another is=
sue and it was only after the fact that I associated them with this situati=
on.)

Suggestion: Don't install KB980408 until more info is available.
