Ok, it's not a gcc bug at all... The SEGV seems to have destroyed

ext2/ext3, xfs, or jfs filesystem as the crash happens during the

What do you mean? I have ext3 partitions on the couple of systems
that I've tried it on and it segfaulted. I also do not have any
Reiser partitions.
I didn't write that this is the only bug in cfdisk but it's the only
reason for the crash on one of my systems. To be sure that your system
exposes an other bug: Do all 0x83 partitions contain the ext3 filesystem
on the affected system, i.e. no unused partitions or more unusual
filesystem for example (that's the reason I wrote non-ext2/ext3,
non-xfs, non-jfs instead of reiserfs)? And did you try the patch at all?

Yes, there is an NTFS partition on hda1. And I did try the patch - it
works.
Though, if I remember right, I had just about exactly the same partition
setup on my laptop - NTFS hda1, ext3 hda2-3, swap hda4. I removed the
hda1 partition and it still segfaulted.
