I don't have the exact backtrace so don't know whether this is related,
but:
for us a recent OpenAFS update (1.2->1.4) reset the CACHESIZE
in /etc/sysconfig/afs to AUTOMATIC. This translated to 8MB for machines
without a separate AFS cache partition, and that value is clearly too
small.. anything accessing more than a few text files on AFS (and Adobe
shared libraries are huge) would cause the machine to keel over.

And the error message "NewVCache: warning none freed, using 300 of 300"
indicates that your AFS cache may be configured to some rather small
value.

Hope this helps
