Comment 3 Robert Peterson 2008-06-24 21:01:06 UTC 
This patch has been tested on system exxon-01.  I also made sure it
would not adversely affect any of the other callers of function read_sb,
namely, "gfs2_edit savemeta" and gfs2_grow.

The patch was pushed to the master, STABLE2 and RHEL5 branches of the
cluster git tree for inclusion into RHEL5.3.  Changing status to modified.
