I know that evms 1.2 had problems such as this, where some unfortunate
casts resulted in 64-bit values being written to the address of a 32-bit
field.  I'm not currently using evms on alpha, but I can probably dig up
some patches to see whether they still apply to evms 2.2.

This ought to be filed as a grave bug against the Debian package, FWIW.
