As noted in the RH bug, this appears to be a SL-specific issue, probably due
to a problem with the build environment that was used to produce this
package.  A straight rebuild of the provided SRPM fixes this problem.

This should probably be fixed with some urgency.  Given that autofs tries to
unmount unused filesystems every 5 minutes, many affected systems probably
have several GB worth of core dumps sitting in the root filesystem by now,
which could lead to full filesystems and all the resulting problems that
tends to cause.
