Summary:                    mount loop device support broken
Description: 
Starting from some release after 1.0rc1, mounting loop devices (in my case
an ISO image) doesn't work right anymore. Right now I use 1.01
Under Kernel 2.4.31 it seems the mount doesn't find a free loop device and
you have to specife "mount -o loop=/dev/loop ...."
Under Kernel 2.6.13.2 I couldn't get it to work at all. I tried the latest
code from SVN about 3 weeks ago, but it doesn't work either.
Unfortunately I can't give you more information.
