I tried for ten minutes now, I can't reproduce this either. I can kill mount
either before it mounts/writes mtab, or not at all.

I think its a relatively nasty bug, but since it is truly local (physical
access) I don't think it is security relevant. FWIW, this only affects CD-ROMs
anyway, all pmount-handled devices are not affected since pmount already checks
/proc/mounts in addition.

<rant>/etc/mtab should just die. The very concept is broken.</rant> *sigh*
