Microsoft has reacted quite poorly in the past to cookie cutter bug
reports being received from
multiple sites.  What they want are sites to experience the issue
themselves and file their own
bug report.

* Install Windows 7.
* Install OpenAFS and KFW
* Boot the machine without network
* Login to the machine
* Obtain a network address
* Determine that it is impossible to enumerate \\AFS
* Call PSS and File a bug report

If you have network when the machine boots, all is fine.  The problem
only occurs when the machine obtains a network address after logon.
