That would be a severe bug in "FileStorage" -- and it is almost
unbelievable...

   A mount point is nothing special for a "FileStorage". It is
   treated like any other object.

   What you tell us is that a reachable object can be discarded
   by packing. As a mount point is nothing special, it could
   happen with any object.

   But it is now years back that we got the last packing problem report.
