It is believed to be fixed in the versions in the final Warty release, but
we would appreciate further testing and confirmation, since we cannot
reproduce the bug.  Please add a comment to the bug with the results of your
test.

While the bug seems fairly nasty, there is a straightforward fix, documented
in Bugzilla, if it goes wrong somehow.

The live CD contains the same parted as the install CD.
