Comment(by oxygene):

 After some talk on IRC, it was clear that the patch only solves the issue
 part-way: FAT isn't a "grab-all" filesystem anymore, but now it's "grab
 nothing".

 new version of the patch with strcmp(...) replaced by strncmp(..., 5), so
 the 0x20 padding of the type field doesn't interfere.

 hawke tested such a change already, so I think it's good to go, but I'll
 wait for a day for comments.
