No, I don't get segfaults. Although it is vg_read_with_pv_and_lv() that 
fails. After I tried using vgcfgrestore it doesn't find any VGs at all.

Well. In my case the VG in question was extended a little while back. 
Possibly between the last reboot and this one. But it was originally 
built with the 0.9.0 tools and stock 2.4.0 kernel.

BTW: Should the LVM be switched of somehow before reboot of the computer?
