Howdy,
I guess I'm putting up my 'me too' sign.
Here's some detail.  This is Scientific Linux 40rolling, which is 
essentially RHEL 4 AS.
For x86_64, x86_64 smp, and i686 smp, openafs 1.3.79, 80, and so far 81 
have all worked.
But when I'm on a single cpu, using a non-smp kernel (just the standard 
kernel) then writes to AFS space can cause the process to hang.  It 
isn't hanging the whole machine, just the process that happens to be 
doing the write.
The kernel is RedHat's 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL kernel.

Since the system doesn't die, I could sent you more than a 'alt-sysrq t' 
if you want.    Or if that is what you want ... what's a good way to 
keep that from scrolling off the screen, or redirect it to a file.
