I don't remember.  I think the problem is still there, since I think
my patch still applies, and my patch conflicts with your fix.  It's
been long enough that I'm not sure it's worth applying your patch as
an interim fix.

No worries.  I've tested it, but it's my patch, so there's a big grain
of salt there.  I think Serge tested it, too.

If you're talking about the do_remount_sb thing, that's already in Linus' tree.

The nosuid patch has a couple versions, and I'm not sure which version
I prefer.  It's certainly debatable.
