No, sorry. It didn't fix it.

Any other info I could provide? (The stack traces during the stalls 
don't contain any useful information?)

Is there a way to trace function calls inside the openafs-kernel-module 
on Linux 2.6 without using the linux trace toolkit? (And thus having to 
recompile the kernel.)
