Bug description:
  [TEST CASE]
  (culled from Debian bug report)
  Assuming /dev/vdb and /dev/vdc are blank devices (BE CAREFUL!):

  
  # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 of=/dev/vdb
  # dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=100 of=/dev/vdc
  # mdadm -C -l 1 -n 2 -e 1 --assume-clean /dev/md0 /dev/vdb /dev/vdc
  mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
  # mdadm -G -b internal /dev/md0
  mdadm: failed to set internal bitmap.

  A fixed version should not fail to set the internal bitmap

  good old debian stable or will someone care about this bug i've
  encountered just ten minutes after my first meeting with ubuntu lts?
