Subject: 2.6.16.20/dm: can't create more then one snapshot of an lv

I am attempting to create multiple snapshots of an lv ontop of a raid-5
software raid device and ext3+dir_index and resize_inode for the fs.
The kernel is a pure 64bit compile with Debian Sarge amd64 running on
top of it. The kernel is monolithic and I'm using lvm2 2.01.03-5 with
devmapper 1.01.

This works under 2.6.15.7. Under 2.6.16.20 I get this:

# lvcreate --snapshot --size 50G --name snap-12 --permission r --verbose /dev/backups/main
    Setting chunksize to 16 sectors.

This server is not live yet so I can test patches if need be. I wont be 
able to in approx 1 weeks time though.
