Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.06-2
Severity: normal


If in one virtual terminal I undertake a pvmove, and whilst this is in progress undertake a vgdisplay it segfaults.

At this point, when pvmove gets near to the end it locks solid and does not complete.  htop on the same terminal as 
vgdisplay has segfaulted locks solid.

Rebooting the system, attempt to pvmove on its own to restart the move fails (complains mirror percentage is wrong)
pvmove --abort takes you back to the last completely moved lv and removes the pvmove0 lv, BUT at that point all the 
lv statuses of lvs in the volume group involved in the move are set to NOT available, and it requires a manual lvchange 
-a y to fix.
