I think the bug was indeed related to the libblkid memleak : 100's of 
mounts later, mountd size is kept low ~ 1MB.

Is this dependency to libblkid really needed in the nfs-utils ? 
According to the mountd sources (the only place where there is BLKID 
related code), the get_uuid function in onyl used in the nfsd_fh 
function, used to find a mount point from a fsid export entry.

Since the current version of e2fsprogs is still 1.39, this bug is likely 
to happen to much people, hence the best thing to do would be disabling 
the uuid support by default, wouldn't be ?
