OK, so, looking at everything with the patch applied again.  We do
initialize new_partitions to NULL, so that's set.  That leaves checking
str_disk_guid.  We will set (to a real value or NULL) str_disk_guid in
set_gpt_info().  That function will NOT do anything if str_part is NULL.
In our case, if str_part would be NULL we'll have errored out of
do_rename_gpt_parts() before that call, so we're safe.  If str_part
can't be duplicated because we ran out of memory then yes, we can't be
sure str_disk_guid will have been set.  I'll send v2 shortly.  Thanks!
