1.6.0pre* builds are broken at the RX layer. They can get into a state in which PING ACKs sent by the server are ignored by the client causing the connection to stall. The client then times out and marks the server down. http://gerrit.openafs.org/#change,4837 restores things to the way they were before. In addition, there are nearly a dozen other commits over the last couple of days to rx that address the performance issues that Simon Wilkinson presented on last Friday at the Best Practices Workshop. Once all of the patches have been submitted to master we will pull them up to 1.6 and issue a new 1.6.0 pre-release. Jeffrey Altman
