I tested this, and it worked fine.  Perhaps this means that glibc 2.1.3 is
broken.  I just now tried it under FreeBSD 4.0, and OpenBSD 2.7, and ran
into the error you mentioned.

I think that statting to find the mount point would be too wasteful.
Dropping the tail could work except for things like mkdir -p.
