 ** Portability
 
+  df now pre-mounts automountable directories even with automounters for
+  which stat-like syscalls no longer provoke mounting.  Now, df uses open.

   would either truncate the group list to 10, or go into an infinite loop,
   due to their non-standard getgroups implementations.
