Right.  I fixed this in CVS.  I also fixed the problem that bind mounts
in the user's fstab file were preserving the targets MOUNT_SYSTEM flag.
And while I was at it, I found that `mount -a' also adds the
MOUNT_SYSTEM flag if the added mount is from /etc/fstab.  That wasn't
intended either.  Every mount added via mount(2) is supposed to be a
user mount.


Thanks for the testcase,
Corinna
