'unreproducible' means that you tried to reproduce the issue, but
couldn't, not just that you _think_ you wouldn't reproduce it, because
this looks 'pretty strange'.

When looking at the code, it is pretty clear that the failure is caused
by HAVE_GETMNTENT not being defined at all. Bug #402116 (severity
important, filed by Petr Salinger) confirms the problem and provides a
patch that should fix the bug (I haven't tested it though).

Thank you,
