This bug is a result of two factors:

1) A bug in libsbuild handling of the controlling TTY.  Basically,
   outputting a debugging message in a static initialiser before
   std::cerr was initialised resulted in a segfault.

2) The 10mount shell script doesn't error out if schroot-listmounts
   fails.

Both of these issues should be fixed shortly.


Sorry for a delay in replying--my mail system is delivering mail
really slowly, but I have been keeping an eye on the BTS.

Roger
