Correct. I don't even know if the patch should be comitted at all,
even after the freeze. It seems like such a huge hack just to get
around the fact that somebody is actually trying to read files from
an msdosfs mount using midnight commander. There are many, many
problems using msdosfs as a general purpose filesystem, above and
beyond the fact that the 'execute' bit gets set on everything.
