We've seen this issue before.  There was a bugzilla on this same topic in
mid-December.  Like what you did, Nils, I asked the reporter to report this
upstream.  Thanks for doing that.

This issue may affect RHL7.3, RHL9, FC1 and FC2 packages, due to the
util-linux/mount update advisory FLSA-2005:168326 announced here:
   <http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-legacy-announce/2005-December/msg00007.html>

Here's the bugzilla entry (closed upstream):
   <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=176519>
