I edited the description in line to make it mostly in line with the SRU
wiki. It's hard to provide a test case without having a full ldap client
and server configuration, plus an NFS system. I don't have access to the
server side configs so I can't provide those.

What extra information is necessary to get this into the Wily
repository?

** Description changed:

  I'm running Wily Beta 2, updated to the latest packages in the wily
  repository, with autofs-ldap using mounts stored in LDAP. On startup
  systemd immediately puts autofs into a failed state as it segfaults when
  reading the auto.master.
  
  Autofs & autofs-ldap version is 5.1.1-1ubuntu2.
  
  The log in journalctl looks like this:

  Oct 05 15:47:47 <hostname> autofs[2232]: ...fail!
  Oct 05 15:47:47 <hostname> systemd[1]: autofs.service: Control process 
exited, code=exited status=1
  
  This occurs whenever the service is started with the line in auto.master
  which loads the ldap mounts. The line which causes the issue is
  
"+ldap:automountMapName=auto.master.linux,ou=automount,ou=<location>,ou=<group>,o=<group>,dc=<base>,dc=com",
  and this configuration worked on 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04.
+ 
+ [Impact] This bug prevents the autofs-ldap module from loading, and
+ causes it to segfault on startup. The proposed fix allows the module to
+ load normally. The fix initialises configuration cache before it is
+ first used (it is the access to the uninitialised cache which causes the
+ segfault).
+ 
+ [Test Case] Install the autofs-ldap package and have it read an
+ automount map from LDAP. The necessary auto.master & ldap.conf
+ configuration is dependent on the LDAP server that provides the
+ automount maps.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] Given the shipped package does not load at all,
+ it can't be a regression on the shipped binary.
