You should probably post a snippet of the AMD map setup you're using for this.

Are you making sure to use a priviledged port in your AMD mounts?  It doesn't
do it by default, you have to explicitly tell it to do so in the map entries.
Mounting without use of a priviledged port causes all sorts of bizarre side
effects, though admittedly I can't recall system freeze-ups being one of them.

My amd maps contain

/defaults opts:=rw,nosuid,intr,grpid,resvport,timeo=20,retrans=8;remopts:=${opts
},rsize=1024,wsize=1024

(though in practice each entry overwrites the opts above with an individual
 entry that doesn't include the remopts/rsize/wsize; my map files were
 auto-generated)

Make sure you've got that "resvport" in the "opts" fields of your own entries.
