I have not. I've reproduced it on CentOS 6.0 and 6.2 DVDs (same version of parted), and I'm unsure if the protocol dictates that I file a bug with CentOS or their upstream. I think the former. Since I've only reproduced this crash with a single instance of an Apple Boot partition, I think I should now proceed with zeroing the target disk, and reinstalling Mac OS X 10.7.0 to see if the problem is reproducible still. Because in that configuration, two months ago, this crash did not occur. Since that time, two Apple supplied updates were applied, one of which modified the Apple Boot partition - so possibly that's the culprit. Or it's user error. I think I need to distinguish between the crash caused by user error vs an Apple supplied update. A crash caused by user error affects a tiny number of people, whereas if it's induced by an Apple supplied update, it will in effect prevent dual boot installation of CentOS/RHEL 6 and older, which is a much larger number of affected people. I'll report back once I've done this regression. Chris Murphy
