Oh, sorry.  That was not obvious from your vgscan -d dump.  Frank didn't say
anything about a segfault either.

Hmm...This appears to be different from the bug posted with the subject
"0.9.1 vgscan doesn't detect upgraded vg's" today.  Can you confirm this?

Have you been able to get to your data since you first posted the bug
report?  What steps did you take to get to this point?  What I'm wondering
is this:  did your attempt to use the LVM tools with the broken kernel patch
in 2.4.0 mess up the on-disk format, or is this a continued problem that can
be reproduced with new VGs created with 0.9.1_beta3 or converted with the
latest tools from 0.8final or 0.8.1?
