What does "twiddle the registry settings" mean, exactly?  Does that mean that
you didn't use the newer "mount" program which is associated with the DLL?

AFAIK, there should be no need for any manual invervention in switching from
an older DLL to a newer.  The new DLL should read the older mount settings
and copy them to the appropriate place in the registry.

So, in other words, this is probably  bash bug.  Is anyone willing to debug
this and offer a fix?
