Sorry, which FD are we talking about?

I presume you're talking about a command sequence like this:

	# unshare --mount
	# test-fsmount
	# mount --move . /mnt
	# mount --move /mnt /mnt
	# cd
	# umount /mnt
	# exit

but this fails on your modified test-fsmount with:

	shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access
	parent directories: No such file or directory
