You know, we should try to find a copy of that and put it somewhere useful.

Actually, I now realize that I _do_ have a copy of it.  Can we put it on
the OpenAFS web site?  I just have the PostScript; it's easy enough to
convert that to PDF.

Didn't know about those.  Still, I think we need more information to diagnose
the original problem.
