Hugh Dickins reported a similar issue, where gnome-vfs chokes on
that /proc/mounts line as well.

I think the conclusion is that this change in /proc/mounts is not going
to work. There are two solutions:

1) leave out unreachable mounts from /proc/PID/mounts altogether
2) completely revert /proc/PID/mounts to the old behavior

The first option is much less likely to break something than the current
patch, but it's still an ABI change.

So I think it's better to go with the second option. Patches coming
up...

Thanks,
Miklos
