+19/07/2010 autofs-4.1.4 - bryder p44
+---------------------------
+ Fix a problem where automount can shut itself down for no good reason.
+ The case I had was very high rate of failed mounts triggering the
+ if (handle_packet() && errno != EINTR) ; break
+ piece of code in automount.c:handle_mounts which ended up just shutting down
the automounter.
+ The debug statement confirmed it (ap.state was 1 (READY) instead of 6
(SHUTDOWN))
+ The bug is triggered if a child signal is caught when the daemon was not in
the middle of a system call - hence errno
+ was not set to EINTR and handle_packet returned non zero - as in when a
mount point didn't exist.
+ This was reproducible when using the ignore-stupid-paths option which meant
the daemon spent
+ more time in user space handling autofs kernel packets than before.
