2.02.86 should be OK, but patch it at least with the patch for:
  Terminate pv_attr field correctly.
(Otherwise 'pvs' can segfault when running.)

For the next RHEL5 and RHEL6 releases, we're using 2.02.88 and backporting
selected changes to it as the current upstream repo has some significant
development work going on in it and it'll be several more weeks before
there's another release.
