Hi,  we do still have AFS for the NeXT, but somewhere along the
line it started behaving in a very flaky way (I don't have the
details on this anymore) and since it was no longer a supported 
platform at Transarc, there was no recourse.  NeXT users decided
it was more reliable to go with the translator. 

Thanks for all of your inputs, and thanks to the OpenAFS guys for
opening a bug report on this issue.
