The fstab parsing is entirely inside glibc, and is the same code that mount uses [getmntent()].
Is it possible that glibc has changed? (It wouldn't be the only backwards incompatible change introduced this cycle </bitter>) The getmntent() manpage says that a \134 must be used to represent a backslash, so \\host\share should be \134\134host\134share ?
