It gets even more messy... just looking at the trace shows that it's 
bombing coming back from partedmodule (which is a Python Shared Object
Library). That takes it back to 7 C programs (about 2200 lines). 

You'd almost have to compare all the revisions in CVS to find what
changed between 4.4 and 4.5 (and figure out exactly what versions of
Anaconda, Python and the Shared Library were in each release).

Doable, but looks like lots of hours...  It would sure be nice to find 
one of the Anaconda developers-- they could probably go right to the 
place in the code... Sigh!
