[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Client not listing recent files on Intel Mac

[Alexander Wetzler]

I have the openafs client running on an intel Mac (core duo CPU). It  
happens regularly that the client seems to lose contact to the afs  
server:

New files which are created by a different client are not seen on the  
Mac client. If files are removed by a different client from a  
directory, the directory listing on the Mac client will still show  
the file in the directory listing, but will mention that it cannot be  
found. If a file is replaced by another client, the Mac client will  
often just see the previous, obsolete version of the file.

On the other hand, if I create, delete or modify a file from the Mac  
client, these changes are reflected properly on the other clients.

I tried this with all currently advertised client versions: 1.4.2,  
1.4.3-rc1 and 1.5.14. All of them showed the same problem.

It sounds similar to a problem discussed on this list back in October  
(subject: callbacks hanging on Intel Macs?), where, however, it was  
claimed that it would be fixed in the final 1.4.2 release. Since all  
the clients I tried are newer, I guess it is a different problem.
