I have done a personal backport of OpenAFS 1.6.5 for squeeze.  So the=20
machine was running
squeeze, kernel 2.6.32, for several months without problems. Now is=20
wheezy running openafs-client
1.6.5 from backports and openafs-module-dkms 1.6.5.

In the meanwhile I have made an upgrade of the kernel module to 1.6.5.1. =
So
'rxdebug localhost 7001 -version' gives 'AFS version:  OpenAFS=20
1.6.5.1-1-debian built  2013-12-17'

I am using a tmpfs filesystem.
