Description of problem:

The autofs bug referred to in the changelog for autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.163.el5 appears to have come back.  Downgrading to autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.156.el5_7.4 fixes the problem.

4. restart autofs
5. attempt to cd to a directory specifice in an indirect map in NIS
6. mount fails

Downgrading to previous version resolves the issue:
1. yum downgrade autofs, install autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.156.el5_7.4.x86_64.rpm
