[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Re: OS X hangs when accessing files

Hmm - correction on this - it seems that this hang is not related to 
permissions as I had thought - it definitely hangs even in file spaces 
that are accessible to my administratively privileged account.  In this 
example I am untarring an archive up to the server and it hangs after 
about half of the tarball has been uploaded.

The only way to kick to a 'timeout' is to force restart the bosserver 
on the fileserver box.

This happens with two different fileservers now, one is the cell master 
and KRB5 KDC, and also an AFS fileserver, the other is just a AFS 
fileserver running only the fs processes.  All of the traffic is 
between the client mac and the fileserver hosting the disk - restarting 
the cell master has no effect, only restarting the fileserver  causes 
the client timeout and release of the system hang.

cmdebug shows one lock on the file while the client is hung - cannot 
kill the process.
