[OpenAFS] OpenAFS 1.4.1 rc5 on Tiger

	During the slowing down of the local activity the afsd is working  
and the
AFS File sytem is alive and accessible. The various servers are  
alive. The only fact I noticed is the console message connected to  
the first access to one of the cells I use:


Jan 31 10:35:21 User kernel[0]: afs: Lost contact with file server  
10.10.0.1 in cell cells.it (multi-homed address; other same-host  
interfaces maybe up)

The message does not appear in the successive access to that cell,  
and the local activity remains slow
