I have discovered that: * This happens every time I give it a disk which has the layout I described in my first report.
* The presence of cciss block devices is a red herring; I have reproduced the problem on a machine without them. Indeed the hardware doesn't appear to matter. * Whatever the partitioner does before it crashes destroys the preconditions for the bug. I have captured an image of a 400G hard disk in the bug-triggering state. After bzip2 it's only 2.1Gby so I have put it on a USB stick and will hope to give it to Colin Watson in person. md5sum: a581787538066d9dde0b13aa29b22e49 bug566316-diskimage.bz2 I can't publish the image because it contains a copy of Windows.
