Another DMG mounting problem and solution

Over in this thread on the macosxhints' forums, '3film' was having problems mounting DMG (disk image) files. Some would mount, some would not. After a bit of troubleshooting, those that would not were those that had the license agreement as part of the disk mounting operation (Mozilla and ASM, for example).

After some fruitless troubleshooting help, '3film' replaced the existing Disk Copy utility by using Pacifist, which allows you to restore portions of an OS X installation. This solved the problem -- apparently the stock version of the program had been damaged somehow, which prevented disk images with software license screens from mounting properly.
