In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS (dmsetup targets) output is truncated because the size calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission. (This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. The code ought to be fixed to supply the actual size.) As a result of this bug, 'lvcreate --type error' fails when it shouldn't.
