Are you taking care of the problem created by not 'freeing' the memory
hogged by PedDiskType *type? Or should I send a patch?

I tried using the default Fedora Core 5 GNU Parted to read LVM, but it
gave the errors. I have mentioned them on this list too, I guess.

Since I was working on the device mapper support for Parted (Leslie
had told me it was on the TODO), I would be very happy to co-ordinate
with you on this aspect. I do not have a stable Internet connection at
this moment, but I will be back on 10th (ie. Tuesday).

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
