It's significantly less likely to occur. I only had it occur twice as
compared to the 20+ times it did not occur and both times I was
concatenating large files in my AFS home directory to test with.

after applying causes the issue. Figuring out which patch would be a real
headache.

bash-3.2# /usr/afsws/bin/cmdebug -cache -servers localhost
