Well, I think the most basic question here is why is vsu_ClientInit
calling LWP_CreateProcess at all.  Does the client really need to be
threaded?

Is someone who knows the OpenAFS code better than I able to fill us in off
the top of their head?  Do the client binaries really use LWP threads to
handle the network conversations with the servers?

When I had looked at this a while ago (for something else), I discovered that the client side code uses the LWP code for waiting for the network data (I think it's using IOMGR, which is part of LWP). That's buried deep within rx. I'm not sure if they actually use LWP threads or not, though.

realize you can use pthreaded rx by linking libafsrpc instead of librx.
