[OpenAFS] Pending bogus vos release transactions

Hi all,

I have noticed that when you issue a 'vos release' and  that the
controling terminal from which you have issued the command is no longer
available (for example you closed the xterm) then the initiated
transaction continues forever:

A 'vos status' on the target side shows an active 'procedure: Restore'
with 'packetRead:' growing (space is eaten on the underlying FS as well)

A 'vos status' on the source side shows an active 'procedure:
ForwardMulti'.


My questions are :

1- What is the proper/clean way to cancel this transaction ?

2- If it's not possible, wouldn't it be more cautious to forbid these
pending transactions ?



Thanks in advance
