Tried that, too. Stepped thru with gdb. I can't reproduce
that. I'm getting the correct message

	"Device or resource busy."

You only can get that message if mount types differ, for example
the existing entry is `user', the requested one is `system'.

In that case it's correct to allow the mount without -f.
Only the message is wrong. I've fixed that. The new message in
that case is:

mount: warning -- there's already a XXX mount point to '<path>'.
       (user mount points cover system mount points!)

with XXX one of "system", "user".
