Using pam_mount 2.11, attempting to remount with mount -o remount a 'crypt' filesystem listed in fstab results in a rapid memory leak that continues until mount is killed. The leak doesn't happen if the filesystem is not in fstab, and changing the mount options or switching the source device to/from UUID/device file doesn't help. Top doesn't show that any particular process is using the memory.

Hallo, seems not to be fixed even in pam_mount 2.13.

It's a blocker for using xfce 4.10.0 because after login all memory gets eaten up in a few seconds.

What does bug priority 5 mean? I think this bug should have high priority!
