AIX3 Automounter SEGV; Fixed

Well, the automounter on our RS/6000 appears to be staying up now.  Apparently
our map for user home directories was too large for it (~920 entries).  Since
the machine is restricted access w/ approx 5 valid users, feeding automount
a map with just those users appears to have cleared up the problem.
Previously, it would choke and crash with a Segmentation Violation after a
couple of mounts and unmounts.  Whether this problem would occur with a
YP map is unknown.  Our YP map has a mount option that the AIX mounter
doesn't like and we aren't ready to remove.

Provided I have not been real lucky, and the automounter can stay up for a
few more days, I'm going to have this reported as a "defect" in the
automounter.  If we had one of these machines for general use, this would
be a big headache for us.

Doug.
