If you report it to Compaq, rather. (Bleh.)
Oh, there's also been some discussion of ways to stash the stat
information for remote cells somewhere that doesn't require contacting
them, thus making /afs a directory one can stat. This would help a lot of
file managers, that for some reason insist on stating every file in every
directory up to the root.
The code is actually in the AFS source, just #ifdef'd out, since NeXT
basically required it given the default behavior of NeXT's directory
browser. Now that AFS is being released as open source, people can take a
look at turning that on everywhere.
