With openafs 1.4.1-rc1 callbacks for R/O replicas (I mean: callbacks 
provoked by a 'vos release') don't seem to have any effect: tcpdump 
shows that there is an RPC call but fstrace does not show anything, 
meaning they are left out in the big loop in 'CallBack' in 
afs_callback.c (and of course the client still sees the old directory).

There are two deltas in afs_callback.c since 1.4.0 where it definitely 
still works: STABLE14-macos104-20051005 & 
STABLE14-vc-hashing-be-less-expensive-20050728.

The latter one directly does something in that loop so I'd suspect it 
first - alas simply rolling it back did not work because of other 
deltas in afs_vcache.c and afs_pioctl.c
