Description of problem:

Parted crashes when trying to print out a GPT disk label on a pen drive. This is not encountered on other disk labels (eg., msdos, sun).


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

parted-1.8.8-8.fc10.x86_64


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a GPT disk label using parted's mklabel command.
2. Try to print out the newly created disk label using parted's print command.

  
Actual results:

Expected results:

The GPT disk label should be printed.


Additional info:

The current Git master correctly prints out the GPT disk label:
