I only said that because you mentioned using autofs-5.0.1-31 in a
previous mail. You did mention you had downloaded the tar but didn't say
if you had applied the patches when I asked and in a mail following you
provided output from "rpm -q autofs" that showed you were using revision
31.

The patch I referred to isn't included in the tar or any of the patches
that should be applied to it.
