Hallo Hartmut - I saw this and my friday-fried brain did go "PING!":

I think I see this too with new 1.3.78 clients (fedora3). Can
you point me what patch I should try to back out? 

In addition to that I think there is something broken in the dynroot
corner, but I have not found a way to reproduce it or debug it. 
fs checks reports everything OK but ls /afs hangs infinitely.
I have disabled dynroot but still se occasionaly "server down"
in spite that server being up up up!

Harald.

PS: Topic drift here I come, this is not AIX specific.
