This is a happy day.  Derrick it looks like your skills have pointed us to the
solution.  I mentioned that we use a loopback device to mount our afs cache
filesystem.  That device was /dev/loop0.  Well, after the direction that you
gave us we found that /dev/loop0 was also being used as a method of restricting
font cache for a different app.  When the app would run the afs cache was
getting clobbered and the afs hang would follow.  We have moved the afs cache
to a new place now and it looks like this problem has been solved.  Thank you
all on openafs.org that helped us with this issue.  Thank you Derrick for the
key piece of info that has solved this one.
I'm curious what the backing store for /dev/loop0 is in your setup. what advantages do you receive while running this way?

Is this so you can store the cache in a ramdisk?

Thanks,
Jason
