Hi -

I just wanted to give an update regarding last week's problem relating
to the client panics.

The IBM AFS Development Team has identified the cause of the client
panics and we are in the process of building and testing the fix.  As
our testing continues, we will provide updates to the group.  At this
time, I can not give a time of a patch release, it all depends on the
outcome of the testing.

Our IBM AFS developers have been in contact with certain developers
within the OpenAFS community through the weekend and I believe that
they are also in build and test mode too. 

Thanks
