I commited a patch from Ralph Campbell. The description with the patch said:
get disk and block size when opening device rather than probe time
It appeared that the patch was ok, so I put it in. Yes, it appears the code
to read Ultrix labels was replaced. I take it that it does not read Ultrix
labels any more? Well, in any case this was not intentional. It was a
side-effect.
Ugh. This merging patches business is messy stuff.
