rpcbind hang after FC6->F7 upgrade

After upgrading 2 boxes (one i386, on x86_64) from FC6 to F7, on bootup
rpcbind hangs.  Forever, never times out.  No messages syslog or anything
past that point either.

Fresh install seems to be fine.

I checked over various things including /etc/sysconfig/network(-scripts/*)
between fresh install and upgrade, nothing sticks out.  Even diffed most of
/etc to try to find anything suspicious...

These machines are set up for nis/automount/nfs and were working fine
previously.  The network comes up fine, as they are set to remote syslog
and syslog starts before rpcbind.

I checked all the initscript orders to make sure any changes in ordering
from F7 are taken care of.

Bypassing rpcbind (and anything needing portmap) during bootup and
everything else comes up.  Network works.

An strace of rpcbind shows nothing useful, it just stops.  I can cut/paste
if someone wants.

Didn't see anything in bugzilla.  Found one mention of this on the list
last month but no one replied to the guy...

Any ideas?
