The failure with suse_* 10 was not a fault of the version as such.

Instead, TSM breaks on the suse1*_base package's habit of symlinking
${EMULDIR}/etc/mtab to ${EMULDIR}/proc/mounts, instead of the correct
(from the POV of a linux application) /proc/mounts.

Note that in MESSAGE (I have debugged it for the second time now...);
suse*_base INSTALL should probably be fixed.
