Could you please configure like this:

        CFLAGS=-g ./configure --prefix=/programs/free/parted-1.6.5-pre1 \
                        --enable-all-static

That way, you get debugging information.

FWICT, the only way _disk_sync_part_table() can seg fault is
ped_disk_get_partition() returns a bogus non-NULL pointer.  There
aren't many pointer dereferences in _disk_sync_part_table().

That's why debugging information would help a lot :)  (It would
give parameters and local variables)

Thanks a lot!
