 I'm running 5.2-RELEASE, with kernel compiled from RELEASE source to
 include IPFW.  Fairly standard stuff.  Is something broken or am I
 doing something wrong??

Sorry about the late response; I appear to have overlooked this issue.

What file system?  UFS 1 or UFS 2?  growfs is suffering a bit from
lack of love at the moment.  It might be worth putting in a PR.

Thanks for the response,

File system UFS2 (with softupdates, if that matters?).

I've sort of worked around the issue at the moment (backed up, 
re-created the filesystem on vinum volume from scratch, and restored), 
but perhaps a PR would help others having the same problem.

Not so much.  But growfs does have problems with UFS2.  That PR might
not be a bad idea.
