The built environment is much more dangerous than it needs to be, if
you're going to use null mounts.  The most obvious issue is that a 
full copy of /dev is provided to the application, when what you really
want to do is ensure the application has only the device nodes it
needs, on a read-only filesystem, and everything else accessible to
it mounted "nodev".
