Re: inserting CD-ROM crashes parted 1.6.6

Andrew,

I found that the following patch eliminates the crash.  Is there something 
out-of-date about this section of linux.c?  I note that this section was 
patched at version 1.5.5 with the note that kernel 2.3.0 had some kind of bug 
that was being worked around; yet, this kernel bug seems to have been fixed 
in 2.3.99.
