[BusyBox] Issue with 'mount -a' when using NFS mounts

All,
There is an issue when using 'mount -a' when one or more NFS mounts are
specified in the /etc/fstab.
In util-linux/mount.c, '&string_flags' is passed into 'nfsmount()',
where it is replaced with a pointer to a local static. For the next
mount entry, it then fails when that pointer is passed to 'xrealloc()'.
One solution is to use a temporary to hold the string_flags value:
singlemount:
extra_opts = string_flags;
tmp_string_flags = string_flags;
rc = EXIT_SUCCESS;
#ifdef CONFIG_NFSMOUNT
if (strchr(device, ':') != NULL) {
filesystemType = "nfs";
if (nfsmount
(device, directory, &flags, &extra_opts, &tmp_string_flags,
1)) {
bb_perror_msg("nfsmount failed");
rc = EXIT_FAILURE;
}
}
#endif
if (!mount_one
(device, directory, filesystemType, flags, tmp_string_flags,
useMtab, fakeIt, extra_opts, TRUE, all)) {
rc = EXIT_FAILURE;
}
This issue was found in 1.0.0-pre9, but the changelog for 1.0.0-pre10
does not mention it to be fixed.
Best regards,
Wilco.
