This is a weird one... BTW: can you do:

        # parted /dev/hdb print

Anyway, I'd really appreciate a back trace.  To do this, you need
to compile Parted with debugging information:

        $ CFLAGS="-O0 -g" ./configure && make clean && make
        # cd parted
        # libtool gdb parted
        (gdb) run

Then, when the assertion fails (when it says "You found a bug..."),
hit CTRL-C.  Then, type:

        (gdb) bt

Then, keep typing:

        (gdb) up

Until it says _disk_check_sanity.  Then:

        (gdb) call ped_disk_print (disk)

Then, send in the output of the commands (bt and ped_disk_print().

Thanks a lot!
