Well, then it probably depends on which version one is upgrading from.
I don't suppose 1.2.9 was bugfree? But point taken, if I ever reproduce
this with the current version I'll file a bug report.

... I think I just reproduced my problem with 1.4.0-rc4. Will try a newer RC
(or 1.4.0 final) one of these days. Here is what I did:

# /etc/init.d/afs unload
Killing inetd.afs
Unmounting /afs
Unloading afs module (98)
afsd: Shutting down all afs processes and afs state

# mount
/ on /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/onerror=panic/dev=2200000 on Sun Oct 9 01:14:59 2005
/proc on /proc read/write/setuid/dev=3e40000 on Sun Oct  9 01:14:57 2005
/dev/fd on fd read/write/setuid/dev=3f00000 on Sun Oct  9 01:15:01 2005
/etc/mnttab on mnttab read/write/setuid/dev=4000000 on Sun Oct  9 01:15:06 2005
/var/run on swap read/write/setuid/dev=1 on Sun Oct  9 01:15:06 2005
/tmp on swap read/write/setuid/dev=2 on Sun Oct  9 01:15:08 2005

(plus some other stuff but no AFS)

# modinfo | grep afs
(no output)
# pgrep -fl afsd
(system panics and reboots)

This was SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_117350-25 64-bit .

All right, the panic is actually triggered by pgrep; if I skip that step
and do an "/etc/init.d/afs start" instead, I am at least sometimes able
to get by without a panic. So my initial claim wasn't accurate, in that
the problem manifests itself when AFS is inactive and the module is
unloaded normally.

>From a practical point of view, this is still annoying since I have no
control over what background processes might look at psinfo during the 
time when no afs module is loaded.

I have no idea whether OpenAFS or Solaris is to blame for this one.
