Excellent!  This looks like the problem.  John, you might just want to
punt and go grab a later 2.4 kernel source (2.4.19?) instead of hashing
with this old one as the later kernels have quite a few fixes in them.
Grab the later LVM source (1.0.6?) while you're at it and build fresh. 

Thanks Patrick for the link!
