I was the one who did the initial port, but I haven't been working on
darwin support in a while.
CMU still uses OpenAFS on OS X, but our public user machines aren't running
10.3 at this time, and so are not yet affected by this problem.

I presume that this problem is related to the vnode/vcache aliasing that
afs does on most platforms, and that has caused OS X specific problems in
the past. The "right" answer is presumably to do what the OpenBSD port did
and allocate vnodes from the OS. However, I don't know what state the
OpenBSD code is in, so I don't know if it's a complete implementation of
vnode/vcache seperation.
