[linux-lvm] segmentation fault when lvcreate is run

[Brent Harding]

		The subject line pretty much says what's going on when I'm trying to use
lvm. I am running redhat 7.1 with kernel 2.4.3-12. I've done everything the
howto said, used parted to split my partition in half to get ready for
migrating things over to lvm. I get the root vg created, but can't create
the lv, the script follows. I've also attached the core from when it dumped
core, don't know anything about c programming, but sure some fix is
available, using 1.0rc4, the latest downloaded on Thursday or Friday last
week, and did apply the kernel patch, configged the lvm stuff to y.
