Bug#848791: lshw causes a crash if executed with root permissions

[Vulpix]

The bug report for clonezilla where I went first is here: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_live/thread/4c57bfb1/ 
but they (likely correctly) directed me towards the linux distribution. 
This is debian.

The issue occurs on all current versions and is 100% reproducible.
