Lee,

As I think I said to you in an email a while back, I've seen similar
problems running OpenAFS under Red Hat 7.3.  The good news is that the
problem appears to have gone away once I upgraded to Red Hat 9.  Since
Red Hat 7.x is no longer supported as of the end of this year, you may
want to consider upgrading anyway.
