- yes, and the new pcnfs docs should have been distributed with it too

- Normally new ports like this new version of the automounter or the
- new version of pcnfsd are not distributed until the next major release,
- but one of the benefits of selective fix is that it allows to send out
- new things like this more quickly. But the docs don't go at the same
- time.
-
- The next time I send something out with substantially new docs I'll
- make a valiant effort to try to send some kind of version of the docs
- along with it somehow. Easier said than done.

- This bug has been fixed but the PTF hasn't made it thru all the test
