[CentOS] autofs mounts all map entries after unmount timeout

Hello,

i have run an update on a machine with

CentOS release 7.4.1708 and autofs 1:5.0.7-70.el7_4.1

to

CentOS release 7.6.1810 and autofs 1:5.0.7-99.el7

The configuration did not change, all auto.* maps look the same as 
before. After the update, the autofs seems to be broken for the direct 
mounts. When reaching the umount timeout it does the opposite and mounts 
all direct mounts and never umounts. Does someone had already seen such 
behavior and can point me in the right direction to understand why this 
happens.

Thanks for all your comments,

Wilhelm
