Bug 684399

Description of problem:

Parted crashes when trying to print partition info. 

I followed exactly CLI instructions on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo to partion, format and install liveusb image. When trying to mark the usb key bootable, parted crashes:

[root@localhost ~]# parted /dev/sdb
