Bug#771617: installer beta 2: jessie parted_server segfault on AMD Athlon64



Control: reassign -1 partman-base
Control: forcemerge 778773 -1

Hi Gordon,

and sorry for the lag before getting back to you. I had this issue
flagged but haven't found time to work it. But some other bug report
came up lately and some people had time to debug it!

This should be fixed with the upcoming RC2.

And thanks for your report, by the way!
