Well, yeah, but I wanted the script to work /now/, not whenever we can
track down and fix the bug.  Of course, nobody else is seeing this bug
anyway...

Oh. I thought text mode was dead, gone, and buried in 1.7.  Sure, that's
a lot simpler.  Second question: has mount /always/ supported '-o text'
as an alternative to '-t', or has that formulation been added only
recently? (I seem to recall some work on the 1.7 trunk to 'make mount's
options more like *nix).
