These messages are potentially a problem, as they indicate a file was
removed on the server while a client still held a reference. In this
case the old reference is to appletalk.debug, but its use count is 0, so
it could be thrown away.
2.1.80 will have changes to fix this, gracefully in the case of unused
files as above, forcibly otherwise.
