Failure in RHEL 6 parted/anaconda when Head Cylinder count is out of bounds

Issue

• Parted and anaconda through pyparted fail if USB sticks have Head, Cyl & Sector count that are unexpectedly low.
• When I run parted /dev/sdc print or when anaconda probes my disk I get a failure and a stack trace.
• This has already been fixed in 6.2, but current users are exposed.

Environment

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)...
