Yeah, I can try Ctrl-C and Ctrl-D and ESC a hundred times and nothing 
happens (if I'm a regular user).  As root if I try to automount 
something that hangs, I can hit Ctrl-C and it quits.

That's basically it.  It's weird.  And it wouldn't be a big deal but 
some of these mounts will often be unavailable due to our network 
topology, so our users will likely scream if they can't Ctrl-C out of a 
hung mount process.
