Funny, that one popped up over here as well (though I get
it when lvcreate'ing).  I belive it started somewhere after
kernel 1.4.15 or 16 and/or LVM 1.0.1.

Also funny: It works OK from the console, but not under X -- if
I use screen on the console and reconnect to that screen under
X it still works, even creating new windows inside screen.
(Yes, yes, the ulimits are the same under the console and
under X for root.  X itself doesn't run under root, of course.)
