Thanks a lot for your explanations, made it easy to understand why
the session must be stopped! If systemd adds such a filehandler in
the future that would be great, but for the moment we will just work
around by removing the idle-timeout. And I will ask at the autofs list
about a possible fix in their code.

Thanks!
