Neither" /" or "/boot" are in a LVM partition!!!!!!!!!

cvs version

# ./grub-probe -t device /boot

        Violación de segmento
# ./grub-probe -help
        Works
# ./grub-probe --help
        Works

system version
# grub-probe -t device /
        Violación de segmento
# grub-probe -t device /boot
        Violación de segmento
# grub-probe help                                               # ?? again
        Violación de segmento
# grub-probe -help
        Works ok!

Same commands tested on two other machines (one with lvm's one without)
All commands don't segfault on the system version (not cvs).

Could you make anything out of this?
Does this help in any way?

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
