I'm trying to fix parted to not fail on such devices.  As I said
originally it fails because it calls dm_task_get_name() to find out
the true /dev/mapper/ name of the device, so that it can add the
partition number to it and be able to open the partition.  Now that I
look at the comment in the headers, it sounds like perhaps it just
should be using dm_task_get_name_mangled() instead.

I'm also still wondering why udev can't simply handle quoted names
with spaces in them.  People have been dealing with this sort of thing
in shell for years...
