The crash you're hitting is something very different than what valgrind is finding (though I agree technically valgrind is correct in pointing this out, and it looks as though some of it is addressed upstream).

That kind of makes me suspicious of the state of the kernel multipath modules. Which ones are loaded of the dm-* modules? Does anything show up in /var/log/syslog? It would be quite helpful if you could attach syslog to this bug report.
