lvm-1.0.1-rc4 (as well as lvm-1.0.1-rc2) works fine for me on various
2.4.9-paXX kernels including 2.4.9-pa42 (see below).

I guess :-) that you compiled the lvm-tools with optimization. Since 
there seems to be a general problem with the lvm-tools and gcc3 (appears 
also on other architectures (see lvm mailing list)) recompile the 
lvm-tools without optimisation or "weak" optimisation (-O0).
