Same as in mine. Server's up, but automount is locking up solid. trying to 
access the share, or links pointing to anything on it also lock up and can't 
be killed.

Got about 8+ of those in my dmesg right now. Another machine running .36 right 
now, is playing music off the same share, and this machine doesn't lock up at 
all when running .36 as well. Tried 2.6.37-rc1 and now -rc3.
