    After investigating further I think I have found the reason for the
    problem. When I created the disklabel for the partition I was lazy
    and entered a size of 2000000 blocks for the slice. I just tried to
    reproduce the problem and re-created the slice with a size of 1024M
    (which is 2097152 blocks) and the problem seems to have disappeared
    - at least I cannot reproduce it anymore.

    So now I wonder if there is any magic constant which the slice size
    needs to be a multiple of...?
