As it was reported on pld-users-pl after upgrading mount to 2.12q-4 
system is not booting anymore. It hangs right after remounting root fs 
for read/write. Error message says:

***glibc detected*** double free of corruption (!prev): 0x0805ba58 ***

And only cold boot works.

The only thing which has changed between release 3 and 4 is 
util-linux-2.12q-use-update_mtab-for-fake.patch. I'm not familiar with 
util-linux sources, but I see two more patches in gentoo which are 
fixing similiar problems (util-linux-2.12q-more-fake-checks-v2.patch, 
util-linux-2.12q-update_mtab-fixes.patch). Maybe they're required too (I 
can't check it mysefl right now)? Or maybe we should use patch from FC4 
instead (its different)? Anyway, this should be fixed ASAP.
