Ummm... Did you try this? afs_end_vnode_operation() should then cause a
double free because you don't clear fc->cbi.

You can try it by installing the kafs-client package if your distribution has
it available and starting the afs.mount service or doing:

mount -t afs none /afs -o dyn

and then:

ls /afs/grand.central.org/
