The past two nights, I've had one of my AFS fileserver go "down"

I say "down" and not down because it's not totally nonfunctional.

It thinks it's running fine:

sprawl# bos status localhost -localauth
Instance fs, currently running normally.
    Auxiliary status is: file server running.
sprawl# bos version
openafs 1.4.6
sprawl#

but none of the clients (running 1.4.8 and 1.4.6) are able to
connect to the volumes on the server, despite believing that=20
dlg@chaos:~$ fs checkservers -fast -all
All servers are running.
dlg@chaos:~$ vos listvol sprawl
Could not fetch the list of partitions from the server
Possible communication failure
Error in vos listvol command.
Possible communication failure
dlg@chaos:~$

I've turned up logging on sprawl's fileserver, but I'm not really
sure what I should be looking for.  Any help would be
appreciated.
