[OpenAFS] Continuing problems with aklog on Mac OS X (rc10), internal state confused?

[Adam Megacz]

This is a real Heisenbug.  From time to time, OpenAFS gets in this
weird state where any aklog attempts give me this (kinit works fine,
btw):

  aklog: unable to obtain tokens for cell megacz.com (status: 11862790).

But simply stopping and restarting the OpenAFS service fixes everything:

  megacz@maxwell:~$sudo /Library/StartupItems/OpenAFS/OpenAFS stop
  Stopping AFS
  Unmounting /afs
  Shutting down afsd processes
  Unloading AFS kernel extensions

  megacz@maxwell:~$sudo /Library/StartupItems/OpenAFS/OpenAFS start
  Starting OpenAFS
  Loading AFS kernel extensions
  kextload: /var/db/openafs/etc/afs.kext loaded successfully
  Starting afsd
  afsd: All AFS daemons started.

  megacz@maxwell:~$aklog -c megacz.com

  megacz@maxwell:~$

So, it looks like there's some internal state inside the OpenAFS
kernel module (or afsd) that is getting confused.  Anybody have any
ideas on what that bit of state might be?
