I'll let you know...  I'm building a box to do some testing right now. 
We backed out 1.2.9 for Red Hat 7.3 boxes once this problem was 
discovered.  Because we autoreboot our Red Hat boxes, it frequently 
happens that folks leave processes running that are accessing AFS.  So 
the shutdown problem shows itself pretty well here...  (Older versions 
of AFS/OpenAFS used to have similar problems.)
