Yes, this was a Transarc AFS 3.6 fileserver, but it is now also
OpenAFS 1.2.3.  This seems to have solved the problem.  I was not
able to find a reference to the client in question in the logs.
Is there a way to tell a fileserver that a client is _not_ down?

Thanks again for all the help with this one.
