Jens,

Remember several weeks ago when I mentioned a problem w/ ridicyulous mod-use counts w/ loop.o??? Well, it's back again 2.4.5-ac19 (IIRC) worked fine.

Basically, the result of attempting sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0 is the following

ioctl LOOP_CLR_FD Device or resource busy

strace shows EBUSY

lsmod shows a use count of 563.

I've had no time to look at this, so feel free to dig in and find out why the usage count is getting screwed... It's probably just a silly little bug somewhere, I'm guessing a one-liner fix :-)
