Ok, It just happened. I was wrong about the processed and mount points
left running. The only ones left are the top mount point for /net and
ist automount process (though I may have only looked after the
expiration after it goes wrong).
Here are the logs. I've only included those for the local host.
BTW, I see no logs for expiring /net/faraday whereas I do for the
remote hosts UNTIL AFTER it goes wrong.
