It's also not possible to fix it just by changing the client behaviour to only 
write dirty bytes (rather than dirty chunks) to the server. On Linux, for 
example, we'll always write and read full pages. So, if you were to write bytes 
16-31, the kernel would ask AFS to read bytes 0->4095 into memory, before 
performing the write. If you don't have that page locally, then you would lose.
