sed /you/AppArmor shipped with OpenSuSE 10.1 and 10.2/ :)

Though I don't think this deadlock should occur quite often,
it occurs when it occurs. Care should be taken promptly.
There should be no way around for this problem as its nature.
Passing vfsmount parameter to VFS helper functions and
LSM hooks seems to be a good choice to me.
