Thanks for the log.
It is quite interesting.

It shows autofs wasn't restarted and hasn't unlinked the mounts
but what your seeing, the path corruption, must be due to the
mount being unlinked. The cwd proc file uses a kernel call to
calculate the path and it returns the path up to the point at
which the mount was unlinked.

That leaves us with the question of what happens when a machine
hibernates? I'll ask around and see if anyone can enlighten me
on what goes on at hibernate time.
