[OpenAFS] Strange DNS SRV traffic resulting from stat() in 1.8.13.2

[Cheyenne Wills]

The patches for OpenAFS have been submitted for the master branch and
are currently under review.  They will be included in an upcomming
1.8.14pre1, that is still being finalized.

Again thank's to Jeffery and Marc for their investigative work.

I do want to mention that the commit that introduced the bug wasn't yet
in a tagged stable release (though it was in the pending stack for the
upcoming 1.8.14 work).
