closedGNU parted "crash" (well, sort of)
100%
Description
When running parted on my eSATA-connected hard drive I get the following output:

The kernel can apparently read the GPT partition table properly, as evidenced by the output of a small utility that I wrote myself, which simply issues the DKIOCEXTPARTINFO IOCTL and displays the result:

This disk has the hybrid MBR/GPT partition scheme that Apple uses (formatted on a Mac), but I'm not sure that has anything to do with the bug.
The parted version is very recent (system was 'pkg update':ed to oi_151a8 a few days ago):

(Apologies for the Swedish localization, but you probably understand.)
I do not know if this is a regression since I didn't ever attach this hard drive to OI until now.
This is the first time I report a bug here, so please get back to me if more info is needed. I put this category kernel/userland, which seemed to be the best match.
