I am having a problem with getmntent, specifically when running in a DOS
box under Win95. If there isn't a diskette in the A:/ drive, the flag to
skip the B: drive is not set. When the 'biosdisk' call is made on the
non-existent B: drive, it will hang in '_dpmi_int'. While 'getmntent'
does make several calls to biosdisk before moving on, I don't see a loop
in '_dpmi_int'. Could this possibly be something in the Win95 dpmi?

I can't duplicate the situation on my DOS box, since it does have a 5
1/4 B: drive. For the time being, I'm just linking a version of mntent.c
that unconditionally skips drive 2, but this isn't very elegant.
