My solution to this was to take l:RAM-Handler, search for the string
"RAM DISK" and modify the " " to a "_" as to let it read "RAM_DISK".
You can do this with NewZap or any editor that accepts binary files.
Modifying executable files may not be considered to be normal practice,
but I consider this to be the cleanest solution when opposed to some
time-dependant use of Relabel.
Err, BTW, when doing this, try to preserve the "----rw-d" flag pattern.
