It was a generic recommendation.  But if grub-probe was compiled by
Debian, it's Debian specific in a certain sense.

I cannot reproduce the crash, even on a Fedora installed on a LVM
volume.

That's how to check out GRUB from CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/grub co grub2

To build it, use:

./configure
make

As for debugging, I see you have found something already.

Try the version from CVS.  Describe the problem in a concise way, so
that nobody has to go through the whole discussion in the Debian bug
tracker.  Try using grub-probe on paths that are not on LVM (like a
mounted floppy or a flash drive).
