Fwd: LVM device-mapper errors

Is there an update to device-mapper for debian sarge?

I'm getting various lvm/devmapper errors when creating and removing
snapshots on debian Sarge.

  device-mapper ioctl cmd 9 failed: Cannot allocate memory
  Couldn't load device 'myvg-www2_snapshot'.
  Unable to deactivate logical volume "myvg-www2_snapshot"

I am using:

 lvm2                            2.01.04-5
 libdevmapper1.01                1.01.00-4
 kernel 2.6.10

Has anyone else experienced these types of errors?

My LVM system is now locked by an unkillable process.
I guess I should reboot, but I have a lot of data in LVM volumes
and am reluctant to do anything risky.

It looks like there updated dm packages at the sources.redhat.com
site, but no .debs.

Any advice on how to fix this?
Should I install a newer DM from source?

Thanks,

Paul
