Jeremy,
Ok, after digging a little deeper into this, it seems that menuconfig
permits selection of _both_ the stock autofs (v3?) and autofs4 when
building the kernel monolithically. After deselecting the old protocol,
rebuilding and rebooting it cheerfully comes up with protocol 4.
I'll let you know if this cures the problems at shutdown.
