NOTE: I was not able to reproduce the problem in my environment, which
included our next update kernel that is fully patched with Ian's latest
kernel patch kit.  I'm using autofs-4.1.3-10, which will appear on my
people page soon.

raven> Jeff, would it be possible to include the two patches mentioned

Sure thing.  I'm doing builds for this now.  I'm currently tracking the
following patches that I _think_ are queued for the next release.  Please
correct me if I'm wrong, or if you want me to resend anything.


Patch12: autofs-4.1.2-option-parsing.patch
- Make regular expressiosn for options parsing a bit more strict.  Fixes
  bugs I have filed on the package for false matches of either mount points
  or other fs options.

Patch14: autofs-4.1.3-underlinei18n.patch
- This is a patch which makes translation prettier (AFAIUI).  Note, I
  didn't write this, and didn't send it to you.  I've attached it to this
  mail.

Patch15: autofs-4.1.3-rpc-ping.patch
- Ian, you know very well what this is.  ;)

And, the two you just had me put in:

Patch16: autofs-4.1.3-bad_chdir.patch
Patch17: autofs-4.1.3-mtab_lock.patch
