I've also been using autofs4 all across the board for the last year or 
so, although with amd, not automounter. I still get the occasional 
"self-destruct in 5 seconds" message once in a blue moon, usually on 
daemon shutdown when it unmounts the autofs mountpoint. It could be that 
amd does something wrong -- although I doubt it, I wrote that code :) -- 
still it shouldn't cause kernel problems, no matter what.

IIRC, the self-destruct message is printed when the filesystem still has
inodes with non-zero i_count. So it's an inode leak. But I haven't
hacked filesystems in over one year, so my memory could be a bit fuzzy.

[Talking about 2.4.20 here, BTW]
