Trying to reproduce that, I noticed this failure with
the version in debian unstable:

    $ touch k; echo q | parted -s k
    zsh: segmentation fault  parted -s k

Also with debian unstable's parted,
I discovered that this causes a segfault (use of free'd memory):

    dd if=/dev/zero count=1 >f; MALLOC_PERTURB_=1 parted -s f p

Neither bug was reproducible with fedora rawhide, F10, or upstream.
