So I managed to reproduce this here, and after much instrumenting and
tracing, I think that the problem is that the "areq" structure is not
always properly initialized in afs_Conn() when we test, among other
things, for skipserver = 1. In fact about 20% of the time, skipserver and
other fields (idleError, tokenError) look completely bogus.
According to comments in the code, areq->initd should be 1 for most of the
fields in that structure to be meaningful; traces show that when initd is 1,
the fields are indeed properly initialized.
Attached patch checks for initrd==1 before relying on skipserver - fixes the
problem for me - could you guys give it a try?
It's only been one hour so far but OpenAFS-1.4.8pre2 with your patch
seems to work on my Fedora 8 machine!
Many thanks,
Alf.
