Right, but to help me a gdb backtrace (the "thr a a bt") of a hung
automount process would be useful.

Also, an avc log from a system with selinux in permissive mode is needed
to find out what is happening. I don't think the changes to the package
caused this breakage and QA testing is always done with selinux in
enforcing mode. So maybe there has been an selinux policy change too.
