Protecting the partition table.

Hi,
I'm writing some kernel code and due to the fact that there is the inevitable Null pointer exception in my code, the kernel crashes.(I wish I could write error free code the first time(sigh) :) )

Most of the time just a reboot let's me continue with my work but sometimes the partition table gets trashed. When this happens, it's a 3 hour recovery time for me.

Is there a way to protect the partition table so that it does not get trashed when the kernel crashes???

Thank you..
