This sounds like the same problem we ran into. One of our hp900/800 series
machines began crashing shortly after we installed an afs client last summer.
HP has a patch. You might want to start by contacting your Transarc rep.
Ours helped to get the patch for us. Contact me if you need more details.
Cheers, Mike
