Title:
  grub-probe: double free or corruption in some rare cases

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There is small bug in grub2 in trusty, that causing grub-probe to fail in some rare cases.
  I've got system with follwing scheme:
  GPT (4 HDD): 
  1) 128MB Free space, bios_boot flag 
  2) MDADM RAID10, /boot, ext3
  3) MDADM RAID10, LVM vg0 (for /, /home, etc) 
  4) MDADM RAID10, LVM vg1 (data partitions).

  In this case grub fails with:
  glibc detected *** ./grub-probe: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0000000000838760 ***

  Cause of this behavior is grub-core/disk/diskfilter.c:886.

  I've also filed a bug upstream: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41582
  but it's still not closed and bug is present in Ubuntu 14.04.

  I'm attaching my vision of fixing this bug here. Thoguh, there maybe a
  better way to fix this.
