Yep, I also saw strange cache-problems that I had not seen on linux (for
instance) or with the transarc client. The problems are a bit difficult to
describe but I would typically be able hang the shell on $PATH lookup (i.e
you can do `/bin/ls' but not `ls' after doing some volume operations on 
the servers (_not_ forgetting to release). Sometimes restarting the cache-
manager would help but sometimes a reboot was needed. This probably does
not help but I thought I'd let you know anyway.
