The only way I can not worry about it is for me to either stop using
OpenAFS, or stop having it be the primary thing that causes kernel
panics.

I can't reboot my mac G5 running linux cleanly because it panics
unmounting /afs. I have no idea what part of the huge amount of code
that's in libafs that this is happening in.
