OS 10.5 - Help, corrupt partition table!

I think I messed something up on my main HD (with Leopard on it) while experimenting with Ubuntu. I've got this "Linux Swap" partition that Disk Utility just can't get rid of. I've tried it all: erasing the disk, removing the partition entirely, absolutely nothing works. As a result, Boot Camp won't touch that drive because the partition table is funky. How can I fix this so that Linux Swap partition is removed? See screenshot below..
