Description 
If autofs is used to mount filesystems from NFS server with large number of exports (~4.500), then the response from automountd is larger than 1MB and cannot be sent 
to autofs via doors.
So users are not able to mount such filesytems.

This bug is not visible on latest Nevada (nv70) as CR 6588415 automountd stack overflow in xdr_action_list() makes automountd core dump before it tries to use doors.
I have seen this problem only after patching the system with bits as seen in  'Suggested Fix' in the CR 6588415.
