I can confirm adding a mount to the mounts tab will cause the
preference pane to crash when going to the mounts tab.  I have never
used this feature before and it looks to be a bug.

I have always just done the option+command drag-and-drop to create
links on my desktop from afs.

The preference file is named it.infn.lnf.network.openafs.plist  and is
in ~/Library/Preferences/ or /Library/Preferences .  I had to reboot
after deleting the preference to get things back to normal.  It will
still crash after resetting it if you add anything new to the mounts
tab.
