definately a bug, i've been talking to sun about this for about
a month now, they've escalated it to be fixed. so far they have
sent me 2 new versions of 101318 both of which had to be removed
because they broke the system, I'm now waiting for news. This
bug is serious for us because of the performance hit we experience
when automount is trying to umount the 800+ home directories it
has built up over the day by failing to unmount users.
Bug number is 1169257 if you want to talk to sun about it.
