Well, it's not entirely clear.  One could of course load them up in
gdb and see what the backtrace looks like, of course, but given the
described behavior, if I was in this situation, I would be looking
at hardware diagnostics on this machine (memtest86, SMART output,
bonnie++, etc.).  I do not believe that openafs is expected to be
particularly robust against failing hardware...
