I spent a couple days bisecting kernels attempting to isolate this bug to a specific kernel. What I found was that the simple test that I included in the initial bug report, i.e. ls /afs/ca-zephyr.org, is not sufficient to test for failure. This test can succeed multiple times and then sometime later fail. Which meant that my bisection attempts where pretty much useless. I will work on a better test for this issue.
