[I see Jan has commented on this while I was testing. But here's some
"real-world" confirmation that something very bad got fixed.]

FWIW, I use disconnected startup a lot (my notebook's battery serves
only to fill a hole in the case), and I did have problems for several
weeks last Autumn, but it got fixed.

IIRC, that's what Jan fixed. It used to be that the realm resolution
wasn't stored in RVM, but now it is. Something like that. Anyway, I
just rebooted after pulling the plug on the box's LAN connection, cfs
cs tells me ("Officer Obie was just makin' sure") no servers are up,
and "ls /coda" tells me that "tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp" is there
(and I can do some trivial manipulations like cat on some of the files
found there). Before this got fixed, I would get a busted reference.
Of course if you reinit venus you're hosed until you get reconnected,
but you lose the cache anyway so I presume the realm mapping is the
least of your worries then.
