This means that we're in the middle of a call out to the user-space DNS =
helper.

Are you relying on the DNS for information about your cell location? =
Since you changed the IP address of your machine, can you still perform =
DNS lookups (and, in particular, can you look up the AFSDB records for =
your cell, if you have them).

If you have a vmlinux with debugging symbols for your kernel available, =
I'd also be interested in seeing the output from running 'list =
*__d_instantiate+0x54' when running gdb against that vmlinux.
