Conrad -- I wouldn't bother investigating this for now.

I have been sitting on the beginnings of a rewrite for the mount stuff.
I think that 1.3.12 (or whatever) should have some improvements in this
regard.

Thanks for pointing out the problem with /proc, though.  You're right that
it should still be visible during a chroot.  I'm not too worried about that
for 1.3.11, though.
