[OpenAFS] Replicated volume refuses to be salvaged

[Norman P. B. Joseph]

This is interesting.  The salvager appears to unlink the file in a child
process, then try to open it again later in the parent (am I reading
this correctly?):

# fgrep salvage.inodes /tmp/salvager.truss.log
159:    open("/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.159", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 8
159:    stat("/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.159", 0xFFBECF90) = 0
159:    open("/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.159", O_RDWR) = 7
162:    unlink("/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.159")   = 0
159:    open("/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.159", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
159:    unlink("/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.159")   Err#2 ENOENT

I can provide more "truss" context if it would be helpful, but that sure
looks odd.  It also seems that maybe it isn't a question of the length
of the pathname.
