I don't object if somebody else checks the patch in (it doesn't break anything
or cost size, it's just source code clutter), but I'm not going to. It's a
clear bug in the compiler, the last two releases of the compiler (4.0 and
4.1) don't seem to have this bug, there's an easy workaround for 3.x (enable
loop support in mount), and it's a platform specific issue that's never going
to eat anybody's data.
Ask Bernhard or Mike if they want to do it. :)

Never bet against the cheap plastic solution.
