That would explain why there isn't a hue and cry on the cygwin mailing
list.

I know that DJ and I aren't seeing any crashes and it seems that other
people are running the snapshots.  Weird.  Maybe it has to do with
what's getting mounted?

Regardless, I'm relieved that you've found this.  I'm tentatively
scheduling a B21 release for mid-May so this could have been a real show
stopper.
