Adding those two lines (with . instead of ->) does fix the issue for me, 
thanks.

That particular patch changed things because the original memcpy in 
new_pts_mount() did this:

memcpy(&fsi->mount_opts, opts, sizeof(opts));

where opts was a pointer, not a structure.  So only the first few bytes 
of the blank opts actually got copied over.  The patch moved this memcpy 
to devpts_get_sb() and in the process fixed the sizeof error.
