Hi Zrin,

I have tried to reproduce this with the following (comparable, but not
identical) configuration:

- install lenny using the daily d-i images
- configure hda1, hdb1 as a 5GB RAID1 /dev/md0, add an ext3 filesystem on
  top of it
- create 1GB swap on hda2, hdb2
- create a 17GB RAID1 /dev/md1 on hda3 and hdb3
- create a 17GB RAID1 /dev/md2 on hda4 and hdb4
- create a RAID0 /dev/md3 over /dev/md1 and /dev/md2 with 16KiB chunk size
- pvcreate /dev/md3
- add /dev/md3 to a VG
- create a LV on the VG
- run grub-probe -d /dev/md0
- result: 'ext2' is printed; no segfault.

If you're still able to reproduce this problem, please respond to Felix's
requests for more information, because as far as I can see this bug is
unreproducible in lenny.

If you can reproduce the bug, then please run grub-probe under gdb and
provide a backtrace.
