Well, I don't have that problem anymore.  I closed a terminal window and the
machine locked up.  On reboot, AFS replayed its journal but then paniced
with a message along the lines of "no more journal entries but 217 blocks
pending".  Now the system won't boot.

This wasn't the first time that closing a terminal window locked the machine
(not even the first time today).  How the heck can closing a terminal window
possibly lock the machine???
