Playing with the version-changer for v2 logs, I hit this - 
If the log sync code gets a log sunit of 0, we get an oops.

Glen has this bit of "defensive programming" in irix as well, to make
sure we never get a sunit of 0 - bump it to 1 if we see it.

Seems like this could go in the mount path instead of the log sync
path, but Glen seemed to remember finding a reason that it won't work
that way.  Who am I to argue?  :)

        - Make sure we never get a 0 sunit - things go badly if this happens.
          Use "1" for "no sunit"
