9.04 is no longer supported, are you able to reproduce this with a more
recent release?

Title:
  parted crashes with "double free or corruption" message

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu: 9.04
  Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1ubuntu6

  Libraries:
  libparted1.8-10 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11.1ubuntu6
  libc6 2.9-4ubuntu6

  Steps to reproduce the problem:

  1. mkdir -p /tmp/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc
  2. cd /tmp/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc
  3. dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar bs=25M count=1 && parted -s foobar -- mklabel msdos && parted -s foobar -- unit kB mkpartfs primary ext2 1 -1

  Expected result: Creation of image foobar containing a msdos-style
  partition table with a single ext2 partition

  Got result: parted creates partition but crashes during a free call
  with the error message shown at the end of message

  NOTE 1: if the path contains one less element (cd /tmp/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc/abc) the error do not happen, so it seems related to the canonical name of the image parted works on.
  NOTE 2: Bug is not reproducible with upstream version 1.8.8 of parted (Patch needed for compiling included in this report).

  Here is the error message of glibc:

  *** glibc detected *** parted: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x08adcab8 ***
