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.
