Package: util-linux
Version: 2.17.2-9
File: /sbin/cfdisk
Severity: normal

The cfdisk program in Debian/Squeeze segfaults when i try to write a
new partition table to a RAID disk.  The disk size is 7 809 794 048
kilobytes, and I try to create a LVM (8e) primary partition filling
the entire disk.  The created partition end up being only 1 367 339
929 kilobytes.  When I ask cfdisk to create it, its partition view
show the new partition filling the entire disk.  But when I ask it to
write the partition table, it segfaults.  I run cfdisk with the
nb_NO.UTF-8 locale, and seeing the valgrind report I suspect this
might be related.

Here is the valgrind output from a test run.
