2.6.20 with the patch you supplied in response to the "md6_raid5 crash 
email" I posted in linux-raid a few days ago. Just as background, I replaced 
the failing drive and at the same time bought an additional drive in order 
to increase the array size.

mdadm -V = v2.6 - 21 December 2006. Compiled under Debian (stable).

Also, I've just noticed another drive failure with the new array with a 
similar error to what happened during the grow operation (although on a 
different drive) - I wonder if I should post this to linux-ide?
