Hi!

We dicovered a problem with the OpenAFS Client on windows XP ServicePack 2 on a
dell notebook.
We've got our cell on a subnet at work and bind some user in this subnet with
ppptp on a redhat fedora core 1 server. So if the users make a VPN connection
with this server, they get a IP from our subnet and acting like they were here
at work.
The problem a client discovered is with hibernating the notebook. He doesn't
reboot the notebook for quiet a long time, instead hibernate it or set it to
sleep mode. So in one "session" the notebook connects to our cell over WLAN,
ethernet-TP, ppptp OVER DSL. And after using the ppptp tunnel for openafs and
hibernating the notebook, the openafs client hang.
And at all the whole notebook hang, because after activate the windows, the
client wants to use the explorer and then the explorer seems to access data on
the afs-tree, and afs hangs. He can click on the afs-icon and try to get the
afs-client-window, but it is opened in the back so no chance to stop the
afs-service.
Another client is able to stop the afs-service and after stopping/starting the
afs service, everything's back to normal.
Any hint on how to prevent the locking of the notebook?

Cya
Lars
