looking at this problem again, and just sort of guessing since i dont
know much about this section of the code, it looks like one of the 
afsd winds up stuck rxk_ListenerProc().  the shutdown kill -9's this
listenerproc which doesnt allow it to complete since it seems to
want to set rxk_ListenerPid back to 0.  this would indicate that the
socket is not in use.   so if osi_StopListener() would not kill -9 
the listener proc, and signal afs_termState to be AFSOP_STOP_RXK_LISTENER
osi_StopListener could spin on rxk_ListenerPid before closing the
socket?
