[linux-lvm] LVM 0.9.1beta1 vgscan segfault when run with -d

[Charles Duffy]

No, I am not using devfs.

Yes, I ran 'vgscan -d'. Indeed, I meant to attach the associated log
(unless it was stripped by the list software). I'll try again.

Also, I misreported the version number. It was 0.9.1beta1 under which
this occured.
