There was a request that took the AFS Cache manager 117 seconds
to reply to.  In that time, the CIFS client timed out and broke
the virtual connection to the AFS CIFS server.

Follow the instructions in the OpenAFS for Windows release notes.
Use the SysInternal's FileMon and DbgView tools to figure out what

in the AFS Cache Manager to figure out why they are taking so long
to complete.
