Anaconda crash dump

Description of problem:
Anaconda crashed during partition editing when I attempted to delete an LVM partition.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select option to customize partition layout
2. Delete the volume group containing the root and swap partitions.
3. Attempt to delete the LVM physical partition.
  
Actual results:
Anaconda crashed, creating the attached dump.

Expected results:
Success.

Additional info:
I saw some other anaconda partitioning bug reports, but could not find one that matched.

The automatic partitioning started from the option to use free-space, with 2 small existing partitions containing Dell Utilities and DOS, resulting in /boot being the 3rd primary partition, with one logical partition used for LVM.

I had also tried to set the "force to be a primary partition" flag for the LVM physical partition. That failed, claiming insufficient space. This installation is to a 750G disk. Perhaps DOS partitions cannot create primary partitions that big? Maybe this bug is related to partitioning large disks.
