Thanks Jim for improving the patch and including it in the parted-2.2 
release.  :)

I had cut and pasted the patch into Thunderbird and it was probably 
wrapped at 70 characters.

Previously I included a patch as an attachment, but the patch did not 
appear in the mailing list archive.  Following are the links which show 
this situation:

Initial post with race condition patch in attachment (missing from 
mailing list archive):
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/parted-devel/2010-February/003394.html

Follow up post with race condition patch inline:

Do you have a preferred method for submitting patches?
