[OpenAFS] sudden crash

[Nathan Neulinger]

I build with:

CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DAFS_RXDEADTIME=10 -DDEFAULT_PROBE_INTERVAL=30"
MT_CFLAGS="${MT_CFLAGS} -DAFS_RXDEADTIME=10 -DDEFAULT_PROBE_INTERVAL=30"
XCFLAGS="${XCFLAGS} -DAFS_RXDEADTIME=10 -DDEFAULT_PROBE_INTERVAL=30"

If the client detected the server failure, then it wouldn't come apart.
The problem is that in some types of server failures, the client doesn't
see it, and never switches to alternate sources.
