Subject: bug#17254: [parted-Bugs][314651] free(): invalid pointer, malloc(): memory corruption

From: Glenn Morris <[email-masked]>

The following seems to be some kind of automated email that was intended
for [email-masked]. But because it seems to have been sent via bcc,
debbugs.gnu.org (which bug-parted uses) had no idea which package to
associate it with, so it ended up on the help-debbugs mailing list. I
have reassigned it to the parted package.

I hope alioth will refine its system, to either use an explicit to: address,
or to put "package: parted" in the first line of the body.
Otherwise this is going to go wrong every time.
