Please find attached a new patch. I hope I managed to fix all remarks
that were made ;-) If not then please let me know.

This is intended for the Changelog :

2008-09-09  Hans Lambermont  <address@hidden>

       * disk/lvm.c (grub_lvm_scan_device): Allocate buffer space for the
       circular metadata worst case scenario. If the metadata is circular
       then copy the wrap in place.
       * include/grub/lvm.h: Add GRUB_LVM_MDA_HEADER_SIZE, from the LVM2
       project lib/format_text/layout.h
       Circular metadata bug found and patch debugged by
       Jan Derk Gerlings  <address@hidden>

The 'svn diff --diff-cmd diff -x -up' style patch is attached.

regards,
   Hans Lambermont
