[Parted-maintainers] Bug#620273: libparted0debian1: Assertion (head_size <= 63) at dos.c in probe_partition_for_geom() failed.

[Steven Presser]

Package: parted
Version: 2.3-10
Followup-For: Bug #620273

I'm writing to confirm this bug.  In my case it has to do with a specific usb
flash drive.  If the drive is plugged in, parted fails to start, otherwise it
will start properly.  I am leaving this flash drive unmodified to expedite
testing and am willing to do whatever tests you'd like.  I will have to check
with the owner of the drive, but I may be able to provide a dd image of the
drive if that will help.
