+Subject: [PATCH] Linux: Completely fix gcc-5 "Invalid characters encountered"
+ issue on mount. It was caused by an issue of gcc-5 STL implementation that is
+ causing char* pointers retrieved from std::string using c_str method to
+ become invalid in the child of a child process (after two fork calls). The
+ workaround is to first copy the std:string values in the child before calling
+ the second fork.
