AFS database problem

Dear AFSians,

is a major problem with AFS database (at least two that do not have any connection).
UBIK doesn't seem to be able to elect a sync site anymore. OpenAFS is 1.8.2-1
and 1.8.5-1.

I don't think, it's a coincidence that Bit#29 of EPOCH went from 0 to one at the
almost same time. Doesn't anyone have an idea, how to fix it or whom to pay to
have a look at it?

Best,

Frank
