Bug#499643: Bug #499643, Segmentation fault when attempting re-assembly of a failed RAID5 via "mdadm -v -A --run --force"

[Jesse Molina]

Hello

I'm pulling a me-too, except that my experience was real world rather 
than academic.  I just spent all night dealing with a RAID5 that lost 
two members.  I had to bring in an older version of mdadm to bring up 
the array with --force, after my current version was segfaulting in a 
similar manner than dhatz has described.

mdadm version is 2.6.7 on Debian unstable -- same segfault behavior, but 
with a few additional errors related to a small amount of array 
corruption.  An older version of mdadm brought it back up so that I 
could reconstruct and fsck.
