[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello guys,

I was practicing my partitioning skills inside of virtualbox. And I just 
got a segmentation fault. I hope this info could help you to fix a bug, 
if there is some.

My environment is Virtual Box with Knoppix 7.4.2 Live DVD.

I attached a file with my console output.

If you need any other information, let me know.

Greetings,
Vitalii

With parted 3.2 from Fedora 21 and a video DVD in the drive I don't see
a traceback, so this probably depends on what you have in the drive.
There should be stack trace printed along with the failure which would
help narrow things down.
