I'd say that this is nothing of concern for Netatalk, since the DEC (where
the afpd runs) is using NFS for access of the AIX system where the actual
crash occurs. It sounds to me as a not-too-stable-NFS at the AIX-side. The
AIX doesn't run any Netatalk code, so why should this be an issue for
Netatalk?
