typically a panic in afs_NewVCache() means that you ran out of stat
entries (typically caused by a large number of files in a single
directory).  i would try to increase the -stat parameter.

this is a problem.  i have a fix for it but its not as pretty
and i would like.  osi_Panic() needs to made inline so that
BUG() would actually point to the file/line instead of a 
location in panic.
