Hi Paul,

I checked out the CVS version and applied the patch, but I still have
the problem.

When I run it through gdb, I set breakpoints where ME_DUMMY is used
(the function defined to check fs type) and it goes through all my
mount points but the 'me->me_devname' variable never gets set to
'/var/named/chroot/proc' and it never gets checked.
It's as though this warning is not output by the program itself, but
by something else when access to that mount point is attempted.

So unless I've done something wrong I would say this patch doesn't fix
my problem. If I get some more time I will debug it some more and see
if I can find the point where the error occurs.
