I just got another one of these after doing a
'cunlog; ctokens'

Should I be running the latest CVS version? 

Also, if I kill venus and restart it with 'venus -init', I wind up with
/coda mounted twice.. should we have a check in venus to unmount and
remount coda? Or should the kernel module do something different? I am
using the coda.ko module that's in 2.6.7 debian kernel packages.

Is it reasonable to have a new venus reconnect to an already-mounted
/coda? Or are we just out of luck if venus dies?
