Problem description:

Bug 1083225 (March 3, 1992, -04)
--------------------------------
This version of automount is based on SunOS4.1.3(same as 4.1.2) Source.

If an entry is removed from /etc/mtab while the automounter daemon is reading
it, it is possible for the automounter to get into a state where it will loop 
forever, printing

"WARNING: /etc/mtab: line <number>: bad entry" 

on the console and hang the server.

Bug 1038308:

	In 4.1, the automounter sets up a different symbolic link
        5 min. after the first access. This happens if there are
        multiple locations for the same mount in the auto mount
        map entry, and those locations don't share the same subdir.

Bug 1048875

	The automounter forks due to rpc.rexd.  This problem
	is usually seen when using the on command.  The automounter
	will complain it cannot find /etc/mtab.

Bug 1044048

	Automounter consumes a steady, increasing percentage of memory.
	Coinciding with this is the consumption of swap space as well.
