I'm inclined to agree. When I login to the machine as root, no other machines are mounted and it seems reasonably stable. The fun begins when logging as myself, triggering automount of my home directory from a second box. Things explode quite rapidly then, usually on the first operation which tries to create/(re)write a file on the server (xdm & .Xauthority, mc and ~/.mc/ini).
