This makes me uneasy. This should take d_mounted to zero. Then, when
the daemon actually does the unmount, won't the d_mounted drop below
zero? Following calls to d_mountpoint will return a negative value, but
everyone treats it as a boolean, so it will evaluate to true for a brief
time. Or did I miss something?
Cheers,
Jeff
