[Parted-maintainers] Bug#519532: gnu-fdisk: Still segfaults with verson 1.2.3

[Rogério Brito]

Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.3-1
Severity: normal

Hi.

This is still segfaulting with my system. Here are the outputs of both
the regular fdisk and gnu-fdisk:

It is interesting to note that they show a different capacity for the
disk (the size in bytes, not in GB).

This has been perfectly reproducible for quite some time now. If any
further information is needed, please let me know.


Thanks, Rogério Brito.
