Thank you!  Yes, I do care.  And this validates the Debian bug
process.  I've reported similar kinds of bugs to Ubuntu and to Fedora,
and in both cases, militant gangs of "triagers" invalidly close the
bugs, often before the maintainers even see them.  In debian's case,
eventually the bugs do get cleaned up!  (Even if it takes three years,
we are dealing with volunteers here.)

I see you found /proc/fs/nfs/exports which has apparently existed for
years (it's in my Red Hat 7.3 system!).

I checked out a copy and tried it; it's working for me on Ubuntu 9.04,
though compilation produces a few warnings that you might want to clean
up:

I am going to run ./configure with no arguments - if you wish 
to pass any to it, please specify them on the ./autogen.sh command line.

Psmisc wouldn't compile on Red Hat 7.3 because it insisted on a
gettext-0.14.1 or better (it only had 0.11.1).  I built gettext-0.16.1
without trouble, surprisingly enough, but then it wouldn't install
into a prefix directory, giving a foolish error:

  /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c  'libgettextsrc.la' 
'/n/sysadmin/psmisc/psmisc/MYROOT//lib/libgettextsrc.la'
  libtool: install: error: cannot install `libgettextsrc.la' to a directory not 
ending in /usr/local/lib
  make[4]: *** [install-libLTLIBRARIES] Error 1

So I gave up on building the new psmisc on RH7.3, which was quixotic
at best.

Thanks again...

        John
