Ubuntu Edgy Eft installer crashed during partition resizing (gtk.main_quit)

[Cliff]

Machine (Thinkpad X60s) has a 100GB SATA hard drive. Already had Windows XP and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installed using Grub as a boot mananger. Was attempting to install Edy Eft on the same drive using gparted to slice the 6.06 partition in half.

Message in installer dialog:

Installer crashed

We're sorry; the installer crashed. Please file a new bug report at https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug (do not attach your details to any existing bug) and a developer will attend to the problem as soon as possible. To help the developers understand what went wrong, include the following detail in your bug report, and attach the files /var/log/installer/syslog, /var/log/syslog, and /var/log/partman:

Thanks for your report. I'm going to treat this as a duplicate of bug 54163, which I'll soon have fixed in Edgy. I believe that the workaround is to avoid hitting the back and/or next buttons more than once in quick succession.
