grub-mount (ubuntu) hangs with hfs+ partition

[Kees Bakker]

Hi,

In Ubuntu (and Debian I guess) there is a grub-mount command.
It's added to grub with branch_fuse.patch, and in that file it mentions
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2011-01/msg00056.html

I have a MacPro system with Ubuntu installed and some HFS+
partitions. Everytime I do a kernel update (and update-grub)
it hangs when a grub-mount command is used on one of the HFS+
partitions.

The grub-mount command does not hang on all my HFS+ partitions.
But the fact that it hangs on one of them makes it very annoying.

I've tried to debug this problem, but I am not making any progress.
The program hangs in a while(1) loop at line 657 in grub-core/fs/hfsplus.c

BTW. I've also tried to contact Macro Gerards (the contributor of the HFS+
code), but I didn't get a reply from him.
