[Libguestfs] Python Hivex Assertion Failed

[Elizabeth Schweinsberg]

Sorry -- I guess I don't have a good place to put a large file right
now, but will work on that this weekend.

I am running v1.2.4 and compiling from source using gcc 4.4.5 on
Ubuntu 10.10.  Anyone else get it running on Ubuntu before?
