We have been running the am-utils automounter (amd) for many years. With
an update to 2.6.22.1-33.fc7 it has stopped working.

See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250716

It's easy to reproduce this. I've done the on many types of systems, i686
and x86_64. Steps are:

1. yum install am-utils

2. edit /etc/amd.conf and add these lines on the end to create a 2nd
   mount point:

[ /net2 ]
map_name =              amd.net
map_type =              file

3. Start the automounter:

   service amd start

4. Observe the output of amq:

# amq
/      root    "root"        
/net   error   .             //nil//
/net2  toplvl  /etc/amd.net  /net2

It should look like:

# amq
/      root    "root"         
/net   toplvl  /etc/amd.net   /net
/net2  toplvl  /etc/amd.net2  /net2
