this is a known corner case and will always be there. it's why the kernel guys have deprecated the hotplug exec mechanism in favor of netlink sockets. the only real solution is a daemon + netlink. neither of which are desirable in mdev. everything else is a workaround. feel free to contribute a mdevd ;). that plus init/other daemons provided by busybox are good examples of how PIE can be a very very good thing. -mike
