[OpenAFS] Re: Salvageserver 1.6.1-3+deb7u1 core dump

I disagree. Not if something has removed "..". For example a buggy
salvager like 1.6.1. Or bitrot. Or whatever. As this is a salvage
program, that should not core dump even if unexpected things happen, I
think it is very very very hard to justify such a assert in production
code for the salvager. Especially because the next layer that does
call the salvager does not handle that the salvager asserts.
