[OpenAFS] bos removeuser and vos dump -clone questions

[GALAMBOS Daniel]

Hi,

Under debian 7 bos removeuser causes the bosserver to abort with
coredump.  The cause is realpath requires that resolved_path is either
to be NULL or be more-or-equal to PATH_MAX, but both could have
portability problems according to the man page.

The master branch has that code modified by commit 68e02987 a year ago.
I know this issue can be easily worked around, if the administrators
knew about it...  But if not they may cause downtime. (...happened to a
colleague)

My other problem is with vos dump called with -clone, which i don't know
if it's a bug and/or is safe-to-ignore.
After dumping a volume with -clone flag, vos examine doesn't forget the
ID of the clone although the clone seems to be deleted as neither
listvldb or listvol contains that volume id.

Thanks,

Daniel Galambos
