This causes an assertion failure because cells aren't immediately destroyed when their refcount reaches 0, but may be resurrected provided the cache lock is held. However, attempting to increment the 0 refcount does nothing, not even giving a warning. So please place a hold on this patch. I will check the other AFS patches also. David
