** 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.
+
+ [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.
+
+ [Other Info]
The log in journalctl looks like this:

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.
