Description of Problem:

I tried to update a system where the following line was present in /etc/fstab:

/opt/share
	/usr/share		auto    bind 		0 0

which happens to be legal and valid.

Unfortunately anaconda missed all bind mounts (other were "local" so no
serious consequences from that) and an update created a new tree below
/usr/share which, obviously, was overmounted on a reboot and other assorted
mess resulted as well.  Recovering from that without good backups would
be "interesting" and was a chore anyway.

I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified
for some period of time.  I believe that most of these issues have been fixed,
so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide.  If the bug you are seeing still exists,
please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened.
