After getting some help from a couple people and getting in touch with
DEC
software support, the answer is this:
If automount does not have its stderr directed anywhere (as when
started
from rc.local) then any network problems will cause it to hang up and
dump
core.
Quick fix in rc.local:
/usr/etc/automount 2> /dev/console
(perhaps) better fix:
DEC software support does have a patch for this.
