Error messages on new version of autofs on FC2

We have a several indirect NIS maps that support Fedora, RedHat 9, SGI
and Sun workstations, including a homedirs map.  The homedirs mounts are
failing under FC2, where they work fine with the other OSs listed,
including FC1.

The homedirs maps have a quota option specified, for example one line in
the map is:

mel -quota              meles1:/meles1/home_mel

The syslog message is:

May 21 17:08:02 ballyhoo automount[7854]: failed to mount /home/mel
May 21 17:08:02 ballyhoo automount[7856]: >> Unsupported nfs mount
option: quota
May 21 17:08:02 ballyhoo automount[7856]: mount(nfs): nfs: mount failure
meles1:/meles1/home_mel on /home/mel

Anyone see anything like this?

Is this related to the new autofs version?  Is it possible to correct
this in the autofs init script, or is it only going to be encountered at
the time it parses the homedirs map?

Thanks for any input.
