able to reproduce growfs bug on LVM(FAQ) at will

[Tupshin Harper <tupshin@tupshin.com>]

I am encountering the FAQ'd bug that prevents xfs_growfs from working on 
a resized LVM volume. The workaround (umount and xfs_repair) does work, 
but I was wondering if I could be of some assistance in tracking the bug 
down? Since it is highly reproducible, I can gather any gatherable 
information. FWIW, I'm running on:
Athlon XP CPU
Debian Sid
Kernel 2.6.0-test3 (almost stock)
LVM2 on dev-mapper

A (mildly) interesting datapoint is that an incomplete xfs_repair (it 
errrored out in Phase 6 because of insufficient space) still corrected 
the problem, so some write operation that takes place in Phases 1-5 
fixes the issue.

I've included a log of a failed xfs_growfs, a xfs_repair, and a 
successful xfs_growfs below.
