Hmm.  I am running openafs 1.2.9 on MacoS 10.2.8, and have
been using afsd options of:

  -stat 1200 -dcache 800 -daemons 3 -volumes 70
             -dynroot -afsdb -fakestat

(all on one line, of course).  I've been running this way
for awhile, and I've never noticed a problem at shutdown.
Mind you, I only reboot the machine about once-a-month,
or however often a system-update comes along that forces
me to reboot...

Have others seen this hanging problem?

(I don't mind if the default is NOT changed to include -afsdb,
but I'm interested in the report that it can cause hangs at
system shutdown...)
