Sorry... could have been a bit clearer.  The first 64 blocks of a component 
are "reserved" for component labels, but not all of that space is used 
for component labels.  In particular, the first 32 blocks are left
completely untouched by RAIDframe.  (so you you have other disklabels 
and stuff, then you can start a RAIDframe component at block 0, and not 
worry about RAIDframe stomping on your label).  The current component label
is actually just a 512-byte block that happens to live at block 32.

That's fine.
