    [1.] Loopback device hangs on mount command.

    [2.] Mounting a loopback device hangs the process. Eg. Issuing

         losetup /dev/loop0 fsimg
         mount /dev/loop0 /mnt

         will hang at the mount command. The mount process cannot be
         killed, nor can the loopback device be destroyed with losetup.
