Just got this one tonight while running Software Update on an iMac.

That one was while logged in as a user with a local home directory, so
theoretically AFS shouldn't even have been being touched.  Now the
semester's started again I guess we can get used to the Macs crashing
3-4 times a day again, and everyone saying how unstable they are and
how they should just be replaced with Linux boxes.  *sigh*

We don't have an afsd.options any more, as its presence or absence
didn't seem to make much difference.  cacheinfo reads:

/afs:/var/db/openafs/cache:64000
