Thanks, I did as you suggested, which gave me some clues and led to some
further printf's as I traced back the problem.  I now think the problem is
first occuring with ped_disk_add_partition().  I have code that looks
like:

        foo = ped_disk_add_partition((PedDisk *)o->obj,((PedPartition 
*)o2->obj),
                    ped_constraint_any((PedDevice *)o->obj));

This line is from python-parted (the distributed version does not check
the return code of that function though, which I think is dangerous).  
After the above, foo == 0.  I added in a printf above that line as
follows:

        printf("o = %s, o2 = %s\n", ((PedDisk *)o->obj)->type->name,
                ((PedPartition *)o2->obj));

That results in: "o = msdos, o2 = ".  So I'm guessing the PedPartition is
incorrect, or maybe my printf is just wrong.  I'm not familiar enough with
the structures to really know the best parts to be printing.  Does it look
like I'm on the right track here?


Thanks,
