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
