I know everyone's busy, but out of curiosity has anybody had a chance to
look at this? Could it be that it's not even an AFS bug, but a linux kernel
issue? I'm getting ready to put a webserver into production and am concerned
because I can reliably trigger the mentioned kernel panic using "ab".

Thanks,
-Aaron
