[Bug 897894] [NEW] Installer crashed while copying files in Xubuntu

[Jeff Lane]

Public bug reported:

Opening a new bug because this happened on Xubuntu using the 2nd respin
disk of the day (20111129.2)

I just pulled down the new respin xubuntu 32bit iso.  I'm installing to
a 32bit VM on a 64bit Host with VMWare as the virtualization service.

The first install attempt was entirely successful.  The second was a failure, ending in a random installer crash and apport firing.  
Earlier today when I tried this with Ubuntu 32bit on the same VM, it occurred 2/2 times.  so far for Xubuntu, it's 1/2 times.

The only difference between the successful attempt and the unsuccessful
attempt is that the successful install was a full-disk install while the
failed attempt is a side-by-side install.
