Did you get this from using Parted, or using your own front end to
libparted?

I suspect it's a bug in your program... it looks like you're not
checking for failure.  i.e.:

(1)     part = ped_partition_new (XXX);
(2)     ped_disk_add_partition (disk, part);

on (1), it Parted returns NULL, because there's an error.  If you
ignore this, you are doing something wrong.
        Then, when you call ped_disk_add_partition(), you are passing
NULL to ped_disk_add_partition.  libparted complains about this.
        Lastly, if your exception handler chooses to ignore the
exception, libparted will attempt to dereference the pointer, giving
the seg fault.

Also, you might want to try 1.2.11 ;-)
