netidmgr maxing out CPU and can't be killed on Windows 7 RTM

I have a desktop PC running Windows 7 32-bit and a laptop running
Windows 7 64-bit. I use kerberos and network identity manager to
access my AFS files. Everything seems to work fine. Except that
randomly (every few days or so) I will notice my CPU is maxed out.
When I check the task manager netidmgr.exe and explorer.exe will be
the 2 processes that are maxing out the CPU. This usually happens when
I am not even directly using netidmgr or AFS. I cannot kill them from
task manager, with taskkill, or with pskill from sysinternals. I have
to reboot to stop them from maxing out the CPU.
I realize that Windows 7 is not officially supported or even
officially released yet, but it will be soon. Network Identity
Manager, Kerberos, and AFS all seem to work fine without any issues. I
was just curious if anybody else is running Windows 7 and seeing this
issue. How can I confirm that this is actually a bug when running
under Windows 7? Or even better any ideas how to avoid it would be
appreciated.
