OK, I removed the new() function, added the call to _disk_pop_update_mode(),
removed 'static' from _disk_push_update_mode, and call that in
gpt_create() immediately after gpt_open() but before returning.

That seems to do the trick in 1.4.6. :)

Of course, I haven't fixed the other disk_xxx.c files yet.  I'm looking for
confirmation that I'm doing the right thing here.

Thanks,
Matt
