[Parted-maintainers] Bug#519532: Narrowed it down to a culprit case

[Rogério Brito]

Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.3-2
Severity: normal

OK.

I narrowed it down to a single problem: if my /dev/hda1 partition is
marked with type "af" (HFS/HFS+), then gnu-fdisk segfaults while listing
the partitions.

If, on the other hand, I toggle /dev/hda1 to be of type "83" (Linux),
then everything goes fine and I get a nice listing.

100% reproducible for the last bazillion months since I first reported
this here.


Regards, Rogério Brito.
