Yeah, I took that system off the network and was getting quite a bit of
fuss from OpenAFS just after startup.  At one point is was popping up
error boxes about every 15 seconds as it tried to start up, failed, and
then retried over and over.  It took a while to figure out how to shut
OpenAFS off to regain control over my computer, I think maybe I ended up
killing off processes or something like that.
