So let me see if understand this problem correctly.

1. The IMAP server wants to update the status of a mail.

2. The AFS server starts breaking CallBacks.

3. The IMAP server is waiting for for the AFS server to say OK on
the mail update.

4. Some other AFS server wants to break CallBacks on the IMAP
server and since the IMAP server is busy waiting for the first
AFS server it can't respond.

5. Things go bananas.

Is this 1.6.0pre4 for server or client?
