Here is the problem and solution:
http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=124377

Here is when it was fixed in OpenAFS:

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

I sent a patch for the 1.4.x branch upstream: http://gerrit.openafs.org/1988

[Anders Kaseorg (andersk)]

OpenAFS 1.4.12.1 was just released, including this fix. We’ll probably have Debian/Ubuntu packages soon.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package openafs - 1.4.12.1+dfsg-1

---------------
openafs (1.4.12.1+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Support for Linux 2.6.34. (LP: #566956)
    - Fix some possible kernel panics.
  * Apply upstream deltas:
    - [c29ac4fe] viced host UUID and address hashing corrections
    - [3fc5c531] prdb_verify -rebuild with supergroups fix
  * Adjust get-orig-source to cope with tarballs for patch releases being
    in the same directory as the parent normal release.
