Also prior to 1.3.74 or so (and all the way back to pre-OpenAFS days), there was a bug in the Windows client which had the effect that if the "always encrypt" flag was set, the client would create a new connection for more or less every call. This generated a high connection turnover rate, making both the client and the fileserver it was talking to more likely to crash.

Actually this bug was introduced in OpenAFS 1.0.4. The IBM/Transarc client does not support the "always encrypt" flag.

The thing that changed "recently" is that somewhere around 1.3.70, the Windows client started shipping with the always-encrypt flag turned on.

This change was introduced with the NSIS and Wix installers which debuted around 1.3.5x.
