Superblock bug?

Using a formatted floppy with no filesystem on it,
mount -t any_fs_type /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0
causes the kernel to segfault [in the device driver it seems]
if the filesystem's read_super() returns NULL [sb error].

Noticed while developing UDF filesystem, on an otherwise
clean 2.1.56 kernel. So. is it the kernel's fault or mine?
