[OpenAFS-devel] Bug in CellAlias

Hello,

I'm running OpenAFS 1.2.10.  I find a problem with how OpenAFS seems to be 
using the CellAlias file (note that there IS a bug in my CellAlias file, 
but I think the behavior I see here is wrong).

My CellAlias file is:

tribes:/usr/vice/etc> cat CellAlias
ir.stanford.edu ir
.ir.stanford.edu ir

tribes:/usr/vice/etc> cd /afs
tribes:/afs> ls -altr
ir -> .ir.stanford.edu/
.ir -> ..ir.stanford.edu
./
ir.stanford.edu/
.ir.stanford.edu/
../

Note how ir points to ".ir.stanford.edu" instead of "ir.stanford.edu", and 
.ir points to "..ir.stanford.edu".  Given that my CellAlias file points 
BOTH of these to "ir.stanford.edu" neither of these links is correct.
