FYI, I had the exact same problem with vinum, from fresh sources
cvsupped today around 12:00 CST, with the added joy of the machine
dropping to single user because it was unable to mount a disk.

It seems that the exact same correction as above did the trick for me.
I don't know if it's _correct_, but it made the system usable again
for me...

Simply :

Note that I ain't no kernel hacker, so this patch may screw up things
in some obscure way for you (and me, but it seems that my news spool
hasn't exploded yet).
