FWIW we *sometimes* experience this on 2.1 series kernels (various 2.1.125 - 
2.1.131).  Not always.  And it's not always root.afs that is messed up --- 
once it was root.cell (/afs/ece.cmu.edu).

It doesn't happen often enough to be a show-stopper; arlad getting confused 
about which volume's cache it is searching (mentioned in a previous note a 
few wweks ago) is more common.
