Hoo boy.... The infamous "stat'ing /afs locks system" problem. I really
think that AFS should time out servers that don't respond (or even
better, everyone should be required to respond to a stat) really
quickly, but obviously this isn't feasible. Currently there's no way to
turn off file name completion. The best solution I could think of would
be to past in /afs/YOURCELL/ (whatever your cell name is) rather than
typing it.

What system/distribution are you running on? The only place I have seen
this is running remotely on a Solaris machine displaying from a Linux
machine....

Browsing with Nautilus or Galeon or...?
