Can no longer mount ntfs-3g ..... workarounds?

Kernel versions since about 0.81 can no longer mount ntfs-3g filesystems for me.
I've BZ'ed this here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452438
The symptoms appear that the call to mount just hangs.
Since hal sees my NTFS partition on my hard drive and gvfs-fuse wants
to mount it each time I log in, I end up with "hanging mount"
processes, e.g.:
3263 ? S 0:00 /usr/libexec/hal-storage-mount
3267 ? S 0:00 /bin/mount -t ntfs-3g -o
nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,locale=en_US.UTF-8 /dev/sda1
/media/IBM_PRELOAD__
3268 ? S 0:00 /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda1
/media/IBM_PRELOAD__ -o rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,locale=en_US.UTF-8
Sometimes I see a hung gnome-mount process too.
Not 100% sure, but this seems to block subsequent hal-type mounts
(e.g., if I insert a CD, etc.).
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone have a workaround?
thanks,
tom
