I installed autofs_3.1.1-1.  What I found was that it mounted the first
thing correctly, but would hang on the second and subsequent mounts:

For example:

	% ls /home
	% ls /home/bosco_a
	TT_DB       fac         lost+found
	% ls /home/bosco_b
	[long wait]  ^C
	% ls /home/bosco_b
	TT_DB       grad        lost+found

I got the same when I recompiled with libc6_2.0.95-980825-0.1.
