It worked.  I thought that when I deleted the Software\Cygnus
Solutions registry entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER (after reading that FAQ item earlier) that it
removed all the registry entries, but doing both that and umount -A
cause it to work.  Perhaps there were entries elsewhere in the tree.

Thanks so much for the info and taking the time to respond!

Now if I can only get sshd to work properly -- but I haven't exhausted
my non-mailing list help sources on that one yet...
