Hi,
Does anyone have a real RHEL4 machine so we can verify that this is the 
upstream vendor?
I haven't looked into the nfs stuff yet, but the original bug was fairly 
easy to reproduce.

Make two partitions right next to each other. (example: hda10 and hda11)
Make the first partition an ext3 partition, and label it. (example: MYLABEL)
Make the second partition a dos or vfat partition, be sure to make the 
filesystem.
Edit your /etc/fstab and put both of them in.  For the ext3 device, use 
a LABEL.
Run "mount -a"

You will get an error similar to

  mount: the label MYLABEL occurs on both /dev/hda10 and /dev/hda11


In this example, the two important lines in your fstab would look like

LABEL=MYLABEL	/mnt/linux	ext3	defaults	1 2
/dev/hda15	/mnt/dos	vfat    defaults	0 0

If someone could try this on a real RHEL4 machine I would appreciate it. 
  If they find that it's their bug, if they would file a bugzilla 
report, that would be even greater.
