Well, what I should have said was that *either* I removed the packages,
*or* I ran the uninstaller.  I think the documentation mentioned both
options, and I don't remember which one I did.

Hmm.  Thinking about it some more, I suspect that I ran the uninstaller.
One thing I noticed was that I lost everything in /var/db/openafs/etc,
for instance.  I have a custom CellServDB and the slightly customized
afsd.options, and after installing 1.4.2 I had to recreate those.  I
had to recreate ThisCell, too.  I assume that would not have been
necessary if I had only removed the receipts.

The run of my ruby script finished on my intel-based Mac-mini.  It
checked almost 200,000 directories, found 2067 AFS volumes, and all of
those AFS volumes worked fine.  No getcwd() problems.
