actually, there's an ifdef that does path_release() instead of dput()
for the linux 2.4 kernels. i think derek is right about leaking
resource information though. if i start afs and immediately shutdown
it does work. if i use it for a while though i cant shutdown cleanly
(although sometimes it will still shutdown)
although looking more closely at the code i suspect that the
path_release should NOT be conditional and it should always
occur:
