[comp.sys.sequent] amd and similar programs

Has anyone gotten the recently posted (comp.sources.unix) automounter,
amd, to work on the Sequent Symmetry?  There's a note in the INSTALL
file that says it hangs the machine.  Reason I'm asking is that we've
developed a virtual file system that interfaces to the operating system
in the same way as amd (mounts itself as an NFS filesystem from host
"localhost") and it hangs our S81 pretty solidly.  This programs works
on all our other machines (Sun3's , Sun4's, Sun386i's, SGI 4D's, and
Mac's running A/UX), so I'm pretty convinced the trouble is in the OS
and not in the code.  The question is, is there anything I can do to
get this working?
