I nuked it, and now the module loads fine, but due to a defect in my  
startup script I managed to start afsd twice without a /afs  
directory.  Now I'm in this interesting situation:

At this point I tried to killall afsd with no luck, even -KILL didn't  
do anything.  A quick top shows that afsd is now hogging 100% CPU,  
which I noticed because all the fans suddenly spun up (yay for  
multiproc boxen, I can still work!)  I don't know if it was doing  
this before or after I kill -9'ed it.

This seems bug-ish, and I suspect I'm going to have to reboot.  Once  
I get back to a sane state again, I'll let you know how things are  
going.

Cheers,

had the best answer:

it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't.  
That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life."
