Yep, that's an understood failure mode: upstart is able to save
network-manager itself from being killed before umountnfs, but isn't
currently able to save the subprocesses (such as those for vpn handling)
that NM spawns.

Bug description:
  IMPORTANT: this bug has enough information; please don't post
  _anything_ unless a developer asks for specific feedback! By posting
  to this bug you only make it harder for a developer to spot the gem
  comments. Please use the "me too feature" of launchpad to signal that
  you are affected and would like to see this fixed.

  I installed smbfs,and then put some entries into /etc/fstab, so they automount on startup. An example of this is here:
  //<ip address of nas box>/<share name>  /home/hamish/<directory name>  cifs  credentials=/home/hamish/.smbcredentials,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000  0  0

  ** note the use of "cifs" in the lines above **

  (The username and password are in the .smbcredentials file)

  On startup, for each entry in the /etc/fstab file, I get the following in dmesg:
  [   70.495504]  CIFS VFS: Error connecting to IPv4 socket. Aborting operation
  [   70.495569]  CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -101
  But the shares are mounted, and a nautilus session opens up (which is also annoying...)

  Also logging off with CIFS shares mounted in /etc/fstab, it sits with an error message:
  CIFS VFS: server not responding
  CIFS VFS: no response for cmd 50 mid <this number changes>
  And takes about 2 minutes to timeout. This also happened with Gutsy

  Should the timing of the mounting and dismounting be changed so that
  it works? It is related to the starting of network-manager and CIFS
  shares trying to connect on startup *before* the network is up, and
  dismounting the shares *after* network-manager is stopped.
