Here's a patch for an SRU that includes STABLE14-cbr-free-what-you-alloc-20090325 and STABLE14-shutdown-vcache-avoid-null-deref-20090324 - both seem to cause similar symptoms at shutdown, and it seems that both fixes are needed sometimes.

The version number in the SRU (1.4.7.dfsg1-6+ubuntu0.1) is intentionally off from the standard SRU version numbering scheme for the sake of the OpenAFS kernel modules. Without the plus, kernel modules built from the SRU would fail to have a higher version number than the current version:

priscus:~ evan$ dpkg --compare-versions '1.4.7.dfsg1-6+2.6.27-11.27' lt '1.4.7.dfsg1-6ubuntu0.1+2.6.27-11.27' && echo "Yes" || echo "No"
No
priscus:~ evan$ dpkg --compare-versions '1.4.7.dfsg1-6+2.6.27-11.27' lt '1.4.7.dfsg1-6+ubuntu0.1+2.6.27-11.27' && echo "Yes" || echo "No"
Yes

I'll update the bug description in a bit for the SRU request.
